[Vwdiesel] Rust Prevention

[Nate Wall]

You need a thicker oil. There are kits on the market
that consist of a sprayer (like an insecticide
sprayer) and various wands and a special oil that are
used to apply oil coatings to the undersides of cars.
Some go as far to drill holes in rocker panels and
coat the insides and place a plug into the drilled
hole. This rust proofing is quite effective if done
each fall. Some even coat the undercarriage w/ used
engine oil! There was a web site for this, but I can
not find it.
