No, WD-40 is a water dispersant, and turns into rubber cement with age. NEVER use it for lubrication, it's not a lubricant! It consists of propane, light kerosene, and a few linear hydrocarbon compounds and some ethers of some sort. Does a great job of removing water from distributor caps and things like that, but the residue is VERY gummy!
I would suggest a "dry silicone" lubricant -- that is, a fairly long chain dimethy poly siloxane of some sort. I used to have a bottle of Supelco SE-50, which is really a gas chromatography stationary phase, but it make a great dry lubricant. Hard to pick up things coated with it they are so slippery. I dissolves in hexane.
