Automatic Transmission Fluid is also a very good and underrated light lubricant, great for car hood and door hinges, and if you mix it with acetone, you end up with the best rust busting penetrating oil I've ever used.

And she loathes this particular chassis so she isn't all that inclined to take care of it. If the parole board even bothered giving May a user manual for this chassis when they assigned it to her, it wouldn't surprise me if she deleted it without reading it.

Bear in mind as well that the chassis is more than likely owned by the parole board, which is probably lacking a bit in funds so its probably the cheapest chassis on the market. Who knows how many AIs used it as a shell before May, is it any wonder the thing is falling apart now.

It'd be interesting for May to run into a former inhabitant of her current chassis. A future plot point, perhaps?
Perfectly Reasonable:
Vaseline. Crisco. Butter. Olive oil. All better choices than WD-40. And what about the LEFT shoulder joint? A little preventive maintenance, maybe?

Actually, apparently prisoners in federal prison can be issued release clothing in the event that they don't have enough money in their commissary fund to purchase clothing, and don't have someone to bring them clothing from the outside. The clothing supplied is generally irregulars, seconds, or mistakes - which falls right in line with how May's chassis has one foot larger than the other and is overallof poor quality.
So, it is entirely possible that that chassis was given to her on release, and not the property of the DoJ. Her parole officer's statement about it being out of warranty kind of hints at that, and felt to me like it was more a case of 'sorry, it's your problem now and you'll have to either spring for repairs or get a new one', not that she's stuck in it regardless of condition. She can still be paranoid about it being bugged, even if it's now her property, but otherwise we've been given no solid evidence that she's only borrowing the chassis.
