Why not pump it full of grease, it won't run out so easily....;).......tongue in cheek!

Until it gets hot and folk think you have shat yourself and you kill some poor bugger behind you.

Oil would just pee out... Grease would be difficult to get in, hence anything in between is pretty much waxoil.
 
Well, if you're actually going out to buy stuff, you might as well buy the proper stuff I'd have thought. After all, the recipes for Waxoyl, Dinitrol et al have been designed so they'll stick on for a while, whereas ordinary oil tends to run off, dry off or otherwise make itself scarce after a short time. It's OK if you're just getting rid of the result of an oil change - 'oh well, I'll just pop it in the sprayer and spray it through the holes in the chassis' - but if you're buying, get something decent. After all, it's not much in relation to the price of a Richards, Marsland etc.

Instead of faffing around with waxoyl, any cheap oil recommendations?

If I was going to do that, I would use used gear oil, no combustion by-products. Good gear oil, not been in for 100k and full of water.

As suggested, it will p!ss out pretty quick, try using epoxy putty to make little plugs to block up the drain holes. Remove after a while when the stuff has spread around.
That's what I do with dinitrol.

May save having a fleet of environmental health people following you around as well.
 
I've been seeing that some in America recommend chain saw / chain oil, as it doesn't fling off easily, its quite cheap bought by the gallon. I use a chain oil spray around the garden tools, bikes, locks n stuff, it really does stick well.
 
I wouldn't be driving it around with oil ****ing out of it. I just think it would be better than waxoyl as its runny and will soak well into the rust inside the chassis.

I've heard that chain oil is good

That's a good idea too. It does stick to metal well.
 
Got mine booked in for 1st Oct for Waxoyling inside the chassis and full Dinitrol outside.
 
I just can't be done with the mess - rather get done properly and let someone else clear it all up. Guy I'm going to knows his stuff, has a good reputation and whilst not the cheapest I work on the principle of you get what you pay for.

Looking forward to getting it sorted.
