Oil spray?

How often is it required? Every year or two?  

Um... what?

An oil spray is a way for those of us a little more north to protect our vehicles frome salt and such... usually goos for every 2 years depending how you use your truck... if you mud alot it would be suggested one a year... personally i shoot WD40 after every mudding included with the oil every year  

So you take your truck somewhere and they soak it in oil?

pretty much yes... but they just spray it in the doors and cab corners and where ever else rust likes to start... im in canada and they like to salt the roads quite heavily during the winter to keep the snow and ice off the road... and keep the auto workers employed  

Are they using plant base oil or petro base. Gotta go green. I was told they where changing from petro base to something else.  

Huh, interesting... learn something new everyday. How do they keep it from washing off?

They don't, it soaks into the metal, at least back in the old days and lasted pretty long. Now they use a wax type. Look up anti-Rust oil spray. It is a snow bird thing. I worked up north and everyone was telling me I need to do it. When I got back to Fl I redid my entire under carrage because of rust starting. I found a good rubberize under coating worked fine. It just those nook and crannies where the salt gets into that a pain.  

Ah... I get it. Hmm, I wonder if I could use that stuff to keep mud from sticking to trucks out here...

i definatly do not recomend the drippless stuff... you want the oil to be able to creep into the seems, our vehicles rust from the inside out.
i work in an autobody repair shop and have been working in the business for a good 15 years... not alot i know but still enough to see the aftermath of each method... the drippless will keep your driveway cleen but the drippy will keep your truck in one piece... and with the making it easyer to get the mud off idea i dont know, but if you look at your oil squirter in the garage you will see that it attracts dust like nothing else and im sure you have to wipe the oil off the outside of the container before you use it.
again oiling your vehicle is great for us northerners where they use salt on the roads during winter... down south you guys are just pure living the dream. sorry for the long post  

Is that still petro based or has it changed to the eco friendly stuff. I was up there a couple of years ago. Guys, where using wd40 and 3in1 oil in a spray bottle. I thought we where redneck down here. It's wax and silicon, right, that is the non drip.  

dont know what they are making it out of... i just say no to the none drip... i just park infront of my neighbours place for a couple days..lol  

Nice
