Did you know many people learn about the Original WD-40 Formula from their parents? Here's a father-son bonding moment from Facebook:

"I helped my son change an engine on his 1986 Toyota 4Runner 4 years ago. The vehicle was over 30 years old. I bought the can of WD-40 and told him to spray all the bolts or nuts with exposed threads to help prevent galling and stripped fastener hexes. The engine came out fine and not even one bolt or nut had to be cut or ground off for removal. My point is I think the WD-40 brand is making great products."
