Yep if you don’t like wd40 then 3 in 1 will work just as well, just wipe it on and wipe off the excess, not being funny but you could use engine oil!!!!!! As long as you completely wipe off the excess as all it is doing is putting a layer of oil to prevent rust, so I wouldn’t get too hung up trying to find a specialist oil for a singular task that is non crictical mate
