Fact: the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal.

It's primarily a solvent, though a
light lubricant. IMO it's too thin and isn't a long-term product for an automotive application, just as I wouldn't lube my bicycle chain with WD (I use a chain lube for that). It's best to follow with a purpose-specific oil or grease to ensure the part in question stays properly lubed (through various conditions) and doesn't dry out. Such as it is for an extensive multipurpose product.
