to all worried about corrosion
its simple, get yourself about 2 quarts of 10/40, an oil gun and go nuts, when complete a wire brush and some rubberized undercoaating will protect beautifuly, small microscopic holes arent a concern its when you can start seeing carpet underneith your car when it becomes a problem, microscopic meaning no larbger than tour index finger, iguess im stating the obvious but though id share, what with winter around the corner......mike

Huh? What are you saying? Spray with oil and then undercoating? It won't stick if oil is on the surface!
"microscopic meaning no larbger than tour index finger"
Again, What?

I think he was trying to state use motor oil to soften up the 10+ years of road grime then wire brush it all off, clean the surface then spray down the rubborized coating.
The finger thing I think he's trying to say not to worry about the pin size holes in the floor pan, it's only when you can start to stick an index finger through when you start to have to think about it.... once you get to were you can put a foot through you really need to get something done. ;-)
Just my interpretation, Like everyone else I was kind of lost too.
I have some rust forming I'm thinking of doing a por-15 coat then a rubberized coat maybe.

umm.. its not because of that undercoating.
its because you had no undercoating at all.
oil washes off.
lets think. put oil on this, then i'll drive thru some wet, abrasive snow...... the oil comes off and you get bare metal.

Oil as undercoating on the bottom of a car does not work very well.
Oil as a corrosion inhibitor INSIDE of rockers panels, joints where fenders meet wheel wells and inside of hollow frame rails works very well. It doesn't stick and stay where it is sprayed. Over time, it creeps to cover additional area and provide more protection. It provides very good protection in areas like these.

farmers used to do or may still do that oil treatment. fill the fenders and doors with oil and drive down a dirt road to clear it out the weep holes. i bet it makes a huge a mess. it does sound good for areas that you can't get at. i would just go and get it rust proofed that is ahy the drill all those holes every where. to get the coverage at all points.
