Absolute myth. I used it for years and years and never had an issue.

Ditto. Used WD-40 on my dirt bikes' chains for years with no issues. It will fly off and make a mess, but it won't hurt the o'rings.

One of the main ingredients in Water Displacer 40 (cool huh?

) is petroleum distillates, aka, kerosene. If you don't care to use kero, then you shouldn't care to use WD.

I had used it quite a bit previously as well without any issues, but had seen it come up in discussions similar to this on other boards.

It's really the only thing I've used and not had problems. My husband has been using much longer than I and no problems either.
