worth oiling a 02 tls?

well since winter is comming and i started a job new, it will be a desk job, woot, but ill be driving 90% hwys now, and the salt they put on our hwys is an insane amount. so i was wondering is it worth right now, since its about 3-4 yrs old to get my car oiled, underbody, door panels, etc....anyone oil their cars yet? what would u recommend me to do..

IMO you should be straight, we get a lot of salt on the roads here too, but i think you should be aright, if your on coilovers i would grease those up a lil bit

Never done it to mine and all they use is salt around here. I donteven think thye use a blade to clean the road unless its over 5 inches of snow. Not a spec of rust. I would say its not necessary

You should do the anti-rust treatment since you live in Canada if you want to keep your
car for another 5 years and it will help when is time to resale the car ........
Look under the car by now you should have some rust around ..........in Canada rust is the biggest enemy of your CAR ........

The car is coated from the factory and most places and treatments can actually do more harm than good

well last year, i had my 99 tlp, riding on good year assurance tires, wasnt a flat road, but it was a over pass on a hwy bridge, so going down hill, my car did a 180 and almost went onto on comming traffic, but went to the curb of the flow of traffic. that was the first time i ever spun out. i doubt wit my tls, that the vsa/tcs would do anything in snow, when sliding and spinning out on heavy snow..





other than that, its pretty good lol
