From memory, I think WD40 is mostly naphtha solvent with some light mineral oil!?.....I'm sure we covered it here on the forum..
I looked into it a while back as my lovely Mum decided it was her do all cleaning product around the house.. I'm glad she changed her mind!
I use it mostly for cleaning parts in the workshop and sometimes for stones if it's on hand. I just use turps as a fluid on diamond plates when I sharpen. That keeps it all pretty clean.

I think all my early problems with oil stones were from not using enough oil at the time or for cleaning the muddy swarf.
Something really nasty in WD40. Water Displacing Formula #40. It is the most effective instant killer for an entire wasp nest.
Wait until dark when they're all home. Shove the nozzle through the paper, push to squirt and count to 5.
Then run like Hello.

Hahaha!....I'm pretty tough RV but I doubt I would make it to 5!... It would be a very quick count if I did!

I can tolerate a couple of hits, even from the black and white hornets.
My neighbor is freaky allergic, has to carry an Epi-Pen all summer.
I do his place, when he finds a nest. Personally, a long ride down a corrugated ShopVac hose
is enough to bust them all into pieces.
Best thing is to paint all the fences with something they won't chew into to get wood pulp for the nest.
Best and nasty is auto transmission fluid. Just get all the wood covered and they have to go elsewhere.
But this is hardly a solution to the oil stone grinder, is it? Maybe wasp guts are the best honing compound.

WD definitely has its drawbacks. It leaves a little film on everything it dries on, too, but that to this point has not been a problem with oilstones.
I can imagine it would've made for an interesting smelling house when used as a cleaner (which may not be too bad, it's got some undescribed surfactant in it according to the MSDS).
(not that we all, in the states, didn't have a bunch of stuff slathered with 3 in 1 oil in our houses).
