Almost every Canadian has a spray can of WD-40 in the garage, but that’s about to change.

You use it to fix just about anything that needs a little lubrication, squeaky hinges, rusty bolts and even your bike chain.

Update: Thanks to @Sbhinclusion for sharing this press release from WD-40, which states that they will become compliant with th new regulation.

    Then it would be WD-41.

    “WD” is “Water Dispersant” and the “40” is the sequential number of the fornumation attempt.

      No it’s not.

      WD-40 may have referred to the formulation at one time, now it’s just marketing.

        Pretty sure they were making a joke, while also sharing a bit of history on the name.
