[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2950459, member: 3099"] You have it exactly backwards unless you are talking about using USED engine oil. Combustion byproducts form acids when combined with moisture. Engine oils have additives to fight this very thing. If you want a corrosion package Amsoil has a diesel oil (great for guns) that was formulated for marine diesels. They let an engine sit docked without running for a year. That's hell on an engine in a saltwater environment. Guess what? They found no rust at the end of the test when they tore it down for inspection. All engine oils have these additives just in lesser quantities than marine specific oils. Engine oils are outstanding for corrosion protection as long as you can keep a film on the metal, that's the hard part, keeping a light film on without it running off over time. [/QUOTE]
