Just discussing. Not arguing. The link says a lubricant is beneficial. The right kind of lubricant, not WD40.

From my layman's point of view, WD40,even though 90 weight gear oil compared to something designed for the purpose will displace moisture. Moisture leads to oxidation.

Contact cleaner cleans it up but then it's naked.
