<VV> Old-time oil spray rustproofing question

[Charles Cromwell]

Hello all
Way back when. We use to mix kerosene and used motor oil 50 50 and spray the under carriage of customers
cars.I use to spray my whole car and then whipe it down. You can do it with a paint gun.
I live in the north east.We use planty of salt here in the winter.

Many years ago I bought a long nozzled spray gun that was designed to spray 
oil. I am sure a similar gun is made today.  You just use dirty oil drained 
from a vehicle.  It just takes about two quarts to do the underside of a 
vehicle, spray inside doors etc.  It is an extremely messy job but it is 
very effective if done once a year (before winter).  It makes working on 
the vehicle rather dirty but I found that it does as good a job as anything 
to preserve the undercarriage.  I live about 60 miles from Buffalo in ski 
country.  We usually get about twice as much snow as Buffalo and salt is 
used heavily.  The undercarriage on my 74 econoline is in next to perfect 
condition, but very oily.  It is cheap, very labor intensive, but effective.
