That is actually how those ones were named. WD stands for water displacer (or displacement), which is what WD40 does, not a lube but an oil that replaces any water where you spray (which can then act as a lube but it’s not designed to remain there long term). WD40 was the 40th attempt at developing a water displacer and it worked, so they stopped there.

They’ll have to give you Preparation A through G.
Also don’t forget G though I - the “GI tract”, if you will 🤔😳

I think it’s G-A-S-T-R-O…, well, you get the idea 💡🤪

LSD is actually LSD-25

Oh, I assumed it was viscosity like motor oil numbers.
