One of the best rust prevention methods is nearly free! Over several years I have found that using used motor oil as a DIY automotive rust proofing method can keep your car panels rust free and looking like new. This video shows proof with a Detroit area 2002 Kia that has been rust proofed with motor oil since new (just started on the frame rails recently) and is nearly rust free 18 years later. A special thanks goes out to ROCKROOSTER footwear 🙂

Great video as always. I do this with my 2004 Toyota pickup truck. I live by the sea on the beach. No rust.
I use ATF with a bit of waste motor oil about atf/wmo 75/25.
Also I use a service gun with my compressor. It's faster and gets everywhere with the fine mist that then spreads.
I use a lot. As you said you can never use too much. The truck drips a few days…marking territory
Nice to see this video. I used oil for years and years. I also sprayed other cars with oil and made extra money. I even went to a garage a couple of blocks away and got their oil. That was back in the good old days. Now that everything is going green, I can't get oil anymore. I did thin my oil down. I used an old paint gun so the oil would spray a mist to get into the cracks. After 15 years of doing this, I had zero rust on my car or no issues with damaged rubber When all sprayed, I would drive down a dusty road to get the oil to stick better. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
