Mineral oil.
WD-40 is a water displacer not a rust inhibitor and is a poor lubricant.

They have a spray product they sell called CRC-226 that is a light weight food and electrical grade miner oil.

I buy pharmaceutical grade at the store and mix a little kerosene with it.
Honing oil is also mineral oil.

Best oil in the world.
