Who uses fish oil ?

Saw a deodorized (no smell type) spray can for only a few dollars today at the shops, really dirt cheap compared to everything else .

Ive read an article where they say its a nice old school approach but stinks (now we have deodorized types). It prevents rust under your car & engine bay area. I think it lasts about 1.5 years once it dries up and it inhibits already existing rust,prevents and protects rust-free areas from getting rust.

Does anyone here use it for their yaris or used it before with good results? Is fish oil safe to use on rubber(hoses)?


I have a small portion of bubbly paint (from brake fluid spilll/leak) i wanna sand paper off and maybe wipe some fish oil on it for protection but its deep within the firewall crevice where there is 2 huge rubber pipes below it which might get some fish oil on it during the process.

Thanks

Try rustoleum in a spray can to cover the area that the paint is gone.

Fish oil is OLD school! Works well on undercarriage and suspension parts, NOT on the engine or near it.

Too many cats in my area. They'd lick it off and leave there salty saliva behind, making things worse.

I take 6ml of The Vitamin Shoppe lemon 800 EPA/500 DHA fish oil every day....as well as one complete vitamin, plus 2,000 mg of Vitamin C, and 6,000 IU of Vitamin D3.
