Plain old mineral oil will do just fine, and will cost a lot less. Sewing machine oil is a good example, so is unscented baby oil. Probably the best choice is food grade white oil (often sold as honing oil).

As a police firearms instructor and armorer I can tell you that WD40 will not protect against rust. It will also attract dirt. As a geek with all sorts of useless information, WD40 was a government project for NASA. WD stood for Water Displacment and the 40 was simply attempt #40. Just some useless FYI I thought I'd share with you and the forum.
Mineral Oil is cheap and works well and you can find it in the pharmacy on the shelf. The only thing WD-40 is good for is cleaning your hands in the shop after working on your car.

Ditto, I use mineral oil.
