WD - 40 is for what it stands for - Water Displacement. Also helps with many things likes helping break loose
rusted nuts and bolts but never for lubricating.

The Pullrite manual says WD40 to prevent rust.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect all mounting bracket and hitch hardware, that it is securely fastened. The Fifth Wheel Plate should be removed and inspected, checking all moving parts for wear—clean as directed above. Inspect all mounting bolts periodically for tightness and general condition, and re-torque if necessary. 1/2’ bolts to 75 ft. lbs., and 5/8” bolts to 150 ft. lbs.
#2300 and #2700 models utilize a castle nut and pin in the roller assembly. To re-torque, tighten roller bolt to a minimum of 125 ft. lbs., then tighten more until next nut slot aligns with the stud cotter pin hole. Install cotter pin and bend one leg upward.
When storing the SuperGlide hitch, you should be sure that the Fifth Wheel Plate parts and Way Tubes are lubricated with WD-40 to retard the formation of rust. Cover the entire assembly to prevent accumulation of dirt, grime, or rust.
