fluid film or hot oil for undercoating ?????

hey there guys what's better for undercoating my 2007 tacoma...fluid film or hot oil? Please help because I'm getting it done real soon like today or tomorrow !

 

FF

 

This year will be my first winter with Fluid Film and everything I've read has raved about it. I hadn't read much about a hot oil undercoating, but I think anything that can keep the salt and water off your frame without hiding the rust (like paint) should work!

FF seems pretty tried and true though.

 

Also @KaitlinTacoma84 where are you located in the North East? There are a couple members in New England who spray down our trucks in their driveway for cheaper than a shop.

 

FF. Without question. It is engineered for protection. Hot oil is hot oil.

 

I would use FF, it is lanolin based, petroleum base products are not good for parts that have rubber.
FF treatment is an annual maintenance task because it eventually washes off. Buy it by the gallon and put it on with a undercoat gun and a small compressor. Rattle can works too!

 

Boiled linseed oil

 

Nothing. Let it rust and get a new frame from Toyota for free.

And that one, you protect.

 

That's one way - I get a new one every 8 years - well not a frame but 1 1/2 book on my 2000 and a frame on my 2008.

 

I was told by the dealership my frame has to be "so rusted that you're able to poke holes in it with a screwdriver" in order to qualify for a new frame....how do I go about seeing if I'm qualified for a new frame ??

 

Fluid Film! There's even a full kit so you can get inside the frame as well: http://amzn.to/2neNvpb

 

I believe you need a dime sized hole to qualify or something like that. I don't currently qualify per my dealer when I had two wheel bearings replaced under my extended warranty but it's my understanding that we have something like an 8 year window from the date of the agreement for those vin numbers under the recall.

 

Poke a screwdriver through it.

Seriously though, there is a whole thread somewhere here on TW dedicated to the rusted frame issue.
