Good or bad idea - underside oil spraying....
So i found one of these neat little air spraying majobbers, and it has a fluid suction thinger on it.
I thought about taking some used motor oil, and spraying the underside of the truck to fight against rus, and maybe even let giant frozen chunks of road crap fall off easier.
Then, I started thinking, the oil might cause dust to build up and cake on everything...including moving parts...
Do we think the extra dust is bad enough to offset any anti-rust benefit of the oil?

I've been 'rustproofing' my truck with boiled linseed oil. Happened to have a couple gallons of it. Works good and it cures fairly tack free. Hoping to get alittle more life out of my oil pan/dipstick with it.
I've heard of others using waste oil and/or kerosene....seems like a big mess to me.

When I lived in Vermont, I ALWAYS oil undercoated my vehicles, my parents vehicles and my siblings vehicles. Bar and chain lube mixed into motor oil. Spray it on everything under there. Start the truck and let it warm up and get that oil off the exhaust. When it warms up, drive it down a dry, dusty dirt road. Come spring time, wash it all off.

Oh man, you guys gotta try Fluid Film for this application. Fluid Film will give you MUCH better protection and performance than the other products mentioned.
Fluid Film never dries out or gets gummy or tacky. It actually embeds into the pores of the metal where it remains active, migrating to all the inaccessible areas. Fluid Film will stop and prevent corrosion caused by road salts (including calcium chloride), and it resists water wash off.
It is also classified as non-toxic and non-hazardous, and is much friendlier to the environment.
As a sponsor on this site, we are so confident you will be impressed with the superior quality of this product that we will ship out sample cans for free for members who haven't tried it and live in the US. Just PM me your contact info. If you've already tried a can and aren't blown away yet by its performance, then you haven't taken the time to notice how long it is lasting. It lasts a looong time.

I actually learned it from riding dirt bikes....Keeps all the dust and mud and crap from sticking to the bike. Works great on the truck too. But Dano...PM sent would love to give it a try. Thanks!
