Rust Check also softens rubber (but they = deny it). I don't know about Krown.
I have used chain saw oil (winter = weight) mixed with kerosene (to thin it) but have not found any anti-rust = additive (yet). I'm planning on buying a 4L bottle from Krown for this winters application.

Does anyone know any more about the subject?
