Depends a bit on budget and what kind of shop you have access to.

I had Ziebart do my 97 because they were convenient and the mess was in their shop not mine. I think it cost about $200 for the underside.

Not much magic to undercoatings. Let budget and convenience drive the decision.

We apply Fluid Film to everything here. Can be done with rattle cans but most folks who buy Fluid Film from me buy a gallon and shoot it with an undercoating gun, but you can also use an airless gun (Wagner). Best done on a lift with plastic on the flor, but can be done with jack stands. Gallon of Fluid Film costs about $40 and an undercoating gun is about that or a bit less.

As for the waste oil, some use it. In many places it isn't legal to use it for this purpose.
