Everyone has their opinions on things as well as have their methods of preventing oxidation.

SEASONAL RUST PROOFING using WD-40 only

I just got done pounding on a housing that looked far worse to get the corroded elocker out of it. Hit it with a 5lb dead blow for at least 30 minutes while torching all around to break free the gasket seal. worst comes to worst, get marlin crawlers armor welded onto it. ive got a quality locker housing and im adding eimkeiths supports to it in addition to the housing armor and locker armor before i install it.

EDIT: My rule of thumb living in michigan, if factory paint is still present, you've got a brand new vehicle component still! I joke, but I don't joke.

I use fluid film everywhere else but use less smelly products for any space leading to the interior. Rust Cure 3000 is an excellent and less smelly alternative.

It just has petroleum products, mostly waxes and oils.

I’m glad they don’t use salt just plow, sand and gravel in Oregon on the mountain passes. But it sure is slippery and if you don’t have 4wd or Awd you’ll need to chain up. I was back in Wisconsin visiting last thanksgiving and they got a few inches of snow and forgot how much salt melts ice and snow. Makes it a lot easier for 2wd cars and all those shit talkers in the Midwest thinking they can drive in the snow.
