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.
