> Any silicone-based lubricant is better than WD-40 for long-term lubrication..

One cautionary note: Keep it away from modern car engines.

There are numerous reports (just google 'silicone +"oxygen sensor"')
that silicone will poison oxygen sensors. A spray or two under the
hood could lead to a 'check engine' failure on a modern engine.
