I'm very pleased you're here reading my description. In the video I explain, in my opinion, the mechanisms and events that occur (to the best of my own knowledge and beliefs) inside an engine if WD40 were to be used as engine oil.
There are several videos from other you-tubers that have done a brilliant job of showing (WD40 engine oil), in real life, that an engine will indeed fail if WD40 is used in a car engine. Having said that, the car engines that feature in some of these videos, which have been drained of their correct regular oil and totally replaced with WD40, do run for longer than I actually thought they would have (driven for many miles without seizure). To me this is very impressive and just goes to show how good WD40 actually is at protecting metal contacting metal and from seizing. However, these engines do indeed fail eventually, which brings me to the point of why exactly this is? What is going on inside the engine that brings about this unhealthy relationship between a running engine and WD40 as its chief lubricator?
Lets not forget that car engine oil manufactures spend many millions of dollars/pounds etc in development of ideal motor oils, which are developed to improve lubrication, fuel economy and engine longevity. Correct development of car engine oils is a science, and we all expect that when we purchase our engine oils. We expect it to keep our engines in good order for many thousands of miles and years of use. All of this can happen because of the well formulated oils we use.
With this in mind, it's quite unfair to the much loved and multi-tasking WD40 to even suggest it could run an engine, even though it's design makes it very versatile indeed due to its many uses:
Prevents Rust,
Cleans Tools,
Helps Open Rusty Locks,
Fixes Squeaky Hinges,
Removes Crayon From Wallpaper.
This is to name a few! But running an engine? After what we have already said about car oil manufactures spending years of research and £££££££££££££ on this specific task, and their goals of safekeeping our car engine from seizing, it's ever likely that WD40 is not up for the job. Why? Well as good as WD40 is, and I love this stuff and use it regularly for its intended purposes, it's just not designed for it or course. I suppose its like expecting a Cow to run in the Kentucky Derby in place of a race hours! A cow has its own very specific importance in the world, and so does the race horse, but both importance's are just very different from each other. To expect one of these lovely animals to do the other ones job is expecting too much. We know that!
Basically, what I explain in this video is that it's not just about the combination of incorrect and missing additive vital to the well being of an engine, its also about the issue of viscosity. WD40 is too thin.
I have included some useful links below to gather a better understanding of just how and why engine oil is made specifically and carefully to keep our engines running.
I recommend you look at this video to gather a better understanding of engine oil and its uses. You can find it here in this link:

In this video, 'engine oil Codes Explained' I basically answer the question: what do oil codes mean? Expllained in simple terms, and is one of my popular videos on you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb6CX...
Finally, I also recommend you see this particular video where I explain the molecular changes that occur, due to additives and heat, within the engine oil, that make it change from a one viscosity type to another as the engine is used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRvZy...
My aim is to create more videos on mineral oil, motor oil, amsoil, best engine oil and how to change engine oil as a mechanic.
