2.3L ('83-'97) New '93 xl project. Best longevity ideas?


Thanks all on the longevity issue. I probably won't do extensive engine motor honey or cleaners.

I knocked rust off the frame and underside, sprayed OSPHO several times, then Rustoleum Rubberied undercoat. On the underside of the bed, which was removed and inverted, I slathered it with a mix of roofing cement and gasoline and lacquer thinner, so it's got a heavy coating of goop.

I usually run 15W40 T4 Rotella in my '02 JettaTDI my '68 F-250, 1940 9N tractor, '61 Cub, Cub Cadet and Craftsman lawnmowers and most other stuff. My wife's 2015 TSI Jetta gets synthetic.
They all get regular oil changes...often seasonal whether they have run much or not.

I ran a fleet of Mercedes 300SD's to over 400,000 miles so all good here.
 
Ooh noooo....


Rubberized undercoating is the worst thing you could put on there.
