If you go with this option often could be close to daily with heavy use. While the exact composition of WD40 is a company secret, it is roughly a mix of mineral spirits & light machine oil. The oil part is persistent as any oil. The solvent helps to penetrate the side plates.

Anything with molybdenum disulfide is going to be messy. One reason why I ride a shaft drive BMW rather than one of the excellent Japanese bikes.
