The subject of penetrating oil comes up quite often on stovebolt.com. There is a DYI penetrating oil that has tested better than most of the over the counter oils. It is a mixture of 50/50 ATF and Acetone.

The problem as I have heard it with WD-40 is Paraffin.

IIRC, this thread came up here a few years ago. Older cans of WD-40 never carried the word "lubricant" or "lubricate" on them. Now they do. A friend at work (in his 30s) was talking about working on his car, another person chimed in about using WD-40 as a penetrating oil. I clued them in about the whole "Water Displacement" thing and strongly suggested Liquid Wrench as a start.
