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.

Downvoted for suggesting using wd40 on a bike chain. Smh

If you use wd40 on bike chain:

  • Wipe away as much wd40 as you can
  • use motor oil of any grade and work it in

If you leave the wd40 in the chain, the chain will rust and /or cease up.

"Work it in" is very important! If you don't, it will splatter everywhere and collect a bunch of dust and turn to gunk!

WD is a cleaning agent. You have to replace the oil afterwards. I like Phil Wood Tenacious Oil.
