While on the subject of batteries, I'm curious if anyone uses 'Battery Oil' in your battery?

Battery Oil was brought up a few years ago by Willie Krash, a member that frequented the Model A site but does not post anymore.

I researched Battery Oil and decided to try it in my Model A (converted to 12v). The battery oil really cut down on water loss but more importantly stopped corrosion from acidic mist venting from the battery. I have been using battery oil for a ~3 years now.

I also always put the battery on a Battery Tender Jr. if the car is going to sit longer than a week. The battery is going on 10 years old now.
