Re: Back in the day, anyone ever hear of...
I've done that with all my cars for years. My son had his Chebby truck in Michigan for 5 years with no sign of rust. My Tahoe has some spots coated now. Works great.

Big difference between sprayin with NEW versus Used oil ! The new oil does not contain any of the acidic compounds / substances !

Re: Back in the day, anyone ever hear of...
After cleaning off the build up the metal looks freshly stamped including draw marks, it does not look like it was affected by the acidic compounds. I think they wouldn't use good oil on the chassis, most likely used, for sure it is a good way of disposing of it. As for rusted out oil pans, I always thought it was due to the moisture condensing with the acids that settle below the oil that did the harm. Not so?

Re: Back in the day, anyone ever hear of...
If there is moisture sitting in the bottom of the oil pan it has to mean that the PCV system is not working well or not designed well. Either that or those vehicles have taken a lot of short trips in humid areas where the engine does not heat up enough for a long enough time so that the moisture does not get vaporized and removed by the positive crankcase ventilation system. In those vehicles the exhaust system probably also rusts out within three years.
