Main ingredients, from the material safety data sheet, are: * 50%: Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits, somewhat similar to, but not the same as, kerosene) * 25%: Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability) * 15+%: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil) * 10-%: Inert ingredients No Fish oil in WD-40...

Why petroleum is not a mineral?
A mineral needs to be inorganic (no carbon in it and petroleum DEFINITELY has carbon) and a mineral also needs to be a solid and have a crystal structure, which only solids have. A2-out of curiosity and to learn more, I looked up "mineral" in Wikipedia. Certainly it should be a solid, crystalline, and have a defined chemical composition. Thus mixtures of minerals as often found are excluded, at least until separated. Interestingly, the Wiki article does mention organic minerals including hydrocarbons! A complication is that the term "mineral oil" is often used to describe liquids obtained from crude oil. These come under a separate Wikipedia heading for Mineral Oils. However it appears to strictly be a misnomer, some other name such as "Natural Non-Vegetable Oils" might be better but the present use of the term Mineral Oil is probably too well established.
