It is actually more than oil. There are really good rust inhibitors in the chemistry. The fluid goes on the consistency of gear oil and congeals in 24 hours. It is always ‘wet’. Here in NE a coating/respray runs $175. You can by the product in line and apply it yourself. One gallon is enough to coat 2 full size trucks.
I will tell you in my younger days I used 50/50 mix of used gear and engine oil. A word of caution as this is flammable if you use it on an ICE. This is much cheaper, has to be reapplied every 6 mos, and smells all the time. Fluid film smells for 24 hours during the cure period. The oil mix above kept my dads 1974 C10 from rusting for over 18 years...a huge accomplishment in the northeast. Fluid film is as good or better.
