Oil under coating
 

Does anybody have any experience with oil under coating? I am contemplating having it done on my truck. My trucks 9 years old but bairly has 60000 miles. My local shop can do a synthetic type of under coating and the price is reasonable.

This subject has been discussed in a thread in the "Automotive" forum...scroll down through the main headings.

Jeep owners do it yearly, Because we've all found out the hard way that they rust at an astonishing pace.

Here are two places that do dedicated oil undercoating.

There are many shops that do Fluid Film. Fluid Film is a lanolin based product and does work. But most folks go for the real oil undercoating. Two different products.

As stated in another older thread. Some claim that cars/trucks today are manufactured with special new wave steel that does not rust. Some state that there is special paints used today that prevent rust. You can make up your own mind. Yes, there is more galvanized metals used and the new Ford truck is an aluminum alloy. The frame, of course on these new Ford trucks is still ordinary steel that does rust.

The oil undercoating is done yearly.
