At he end of season I soak the wheel height adjusting hardware on my lawnmower as these flimsy parts rust like the dickens.
A hood latch spring broke on a friend's Ford (common Ford problem).
The hood closed only to the safety position; not fully closed.
She squirted an entire can of WD-40 under the center of the hood to "free something up".
Did that work?

Why would it? Most hand drills are double insulated and oil is used in transformers for both cooling and dielectric potential.
An oil burner company ad used to show a torch extinguished by shoving it into a pail of heating oil. (Don't try this at home).
Why does a cigarette butt go out and not cause a fire or explosion when dropped onto/into a pail of gasoline?

Not enough heat and too rich in fuel to combust. Think of it like an engine. Too much or too little fuel = no boom. Not enough heat from the spark plug = no boom. Combine the two and you get even more failure to go boom.
A cig has enough heat from the ember to ignite vapors, which will then propagate to the fuel as they generate more heat. Similar to sticking a torch into a drum of oil. Unless the oil is VERY hot, there just isn't enough heat to fuel mass to cause a fire.
