are u talking about wd40.......cos there's been a thread on here,and people say thats what they use with no problems..........i used a dribble of engine oil......(if thats ok with u..??)
wd40 should never be used, because,as any intelligent person will tell you,it evaporates in a few hours,and leaves a grease like residue....making the valve sticky.
a thin oil is best.
and the best thing to clean them with is a solvent based cleaner like carb cleaner,as it evaporates away to nothing,
but its fact that 90% of so called iscv problems,are not directly related to the valve itself....people seem to think a surging idle is a iscv fault....but that normally means the valve is working perfectly well,rasing and lowering idle......its an engine setup fault more often
