Which do you prefer. And do you use after run oil the same as wd 40. For example, do you put after run oil in the carburetor like wd 40?

WD40 is useless as an after-run oil. Don't use it. It';s not thick enough, and it won't coat things properly.

after run(almost identical to MMO)is the best thing to use. i dont like wd40 for anything except rusted parts.

WD 40 is the worst "lubricant" you can use. In fact it's called "WD" because it was originally formulated to displace water on metal parts. After the 40th attempt they found what they were looking for and dubbed it WD40. At work I use it to dissolve gummed up grease on bearing surfaces as it works really well for that. WD will strip the cylinder of castor or sythetic oil that's in the fuel and leave the engine vulnerable to damage at start up in my opinion.
