Default Rust Proofing

I have a 2000 silverado.
Looking at fluid film to spray on the frame and undercarrage.
Directions say to be careful around nonoil resistant rubber.
Any place on my truck that I need to watch for, Plugs, Grommets, Seals.?

Thank's for any info...

as long as you do not spray an engine oil or oil base product on the rubber bushings you should be ok.


I use an amber rust proofing product that I purchased from an auto part supplier...$90 for a 20liter pail. I use maybe 2l each year for each vehicle.


I like to apply black sound deadner/rubberized rocker guard to the fuel and brake lines as the rustproofing does not seem to adhear to the lines. I then rust proof over the dried rocker guard. just don't rocker guard any threaded fittings or quick disconnect lines.
new gm trucks now come from factory with all the lines coated with a liquid plastic product.
