I am sure something special like that would be the best. I don't have any though, so I end up using the wd40 because I always have it on hand.

I saw some cans of 3 in 1 penetrating oil at the hardware store the other day, would this be acceptable to use?

Yes, it is a good lube. It won't thin the thick grease like WD40, but it lubes better.
