I was told in a thread on this site some months ago that they changed the formula a few years back. In the old days we used to use WD-40 instead of starter fluid on the old tractors cause it didn't vapor lock as bad as either did but somebody on here told me it doesn't work for that anymore since they changed the formula.
True or not about the change I don't know but I would have found it hard to imagine that fish oil would have worked as starter fluid.

Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fish hooks and lures with WD-40. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil since it appears to attract fish. Sorry Charlie®, it just ain’t so.
WD-40 Company has taken steps to respect and conserve the environment, and encourages its users to do the same. While WD-40 can be used to help protect fishing equipment from rust and corrosion, WD-40 Company does not recommend using WD-40 to attract fish.
