Some oils might help with the cooler parts of the system, but all will burn off the headpipes. In addition oils won't stop it rusting out from within. But then, neither will ceramic coating. The only systems that WON'T corrode are stainless ones... that it, those made with GOOD stainless (I have seec crap "stainless" rust, oh, yes, and not just at welds). -- Regards Andrew |
