Now I have a can that is 98% full, and I probably won’t need any more until a couple of years.

    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.
