On anything else I use bike chain lube. I once bought a can, because it was the only thing I could find nearby a day I was out of WD40.
My local bike shop had bike chain lubricant that works like WF40, except it does not run off as easily. I now use that for everything where I’d otherwise use WD40.
On my car doors, on the other hand, I avoid oil based lubes. I recently bought a new (to me) car, and I wanted to avoid the oily gunk buildup I had around the door hinges on my old car. One started squeaking, and I noticed some white lube having been used, so I figured it must be lithium grease.
Oh… I can do my car doors too!!
Don’t forget to hit up your house. Door hinges, locks, literally anything metal on metal.

WD40 isn’t a lubricant though. Good thing they upgraded you.
