I do it every other year, just before winter sets in. Undercoating won't seep into the pinch welds like oil will. Once you squirt the oil in there it will remain oily, repelling water and salt for years. Undercoat stays put, hardens, cracks and will lift off the steel actually helping trap water against the steel. The oil will run into areas you will never get undercoating to go. I've been doing this for 35 years and know it works. I had a '74 Powerwagon that got this process, the only place it rusted was the floors, couldn't oil them. My '01 Dakota has absolutely no rust on it while nearly all other Dakota's in my area are rusted up. This works and the oil is free, do it and see for yourself.


I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

Do not use used engine oil. Over time will ruin anything rubber. Instead go to the local tractor supply store and buy a gallon of tractor hydraulic oil. Not tractor transmission oil. Tractor oil won't swell the rubber parts on your truck like door seals and brake hoses.
Then buy an Eastwood undercoating gun. It's around $60.
Spray every nook and cranny and leave it sit for a day so it can soak in. I do this every 1-2 years.
I have a 1996 F150 that has zero rust and live in Ohio. Now I don't drive it much in the winter time because its 2wd.

Fluid film, live in Ohio. $40 a gallon. spray it on once a year. stays on good. goes into the seams. Environmental friendly vs old oil. ( son going to college for environmental science !)
