Winterizing, anti-corrosion treatment?

[Larsson]

Hi guys, do you use to treat the external parts of the engine with anti-corrosion lube? If so, what is the right product to use before winter storage , WD-40 , CRC 6-66 , XPS Lube , other?

Use XP-S lube. It's great stuff!

I'm a HUGE fan of CRC 6-56 (and fluid film in certain spots) but I go through a gallon of CRC every season.. Love the stuff

I use it after every ride, and when I get bored in between rides and have no other garage things to do.

both of my engine bay's look like new.

I don't like WD 40 at all... but and never tried xps so I can't say positive or negative

Fogging oil works fine, IMO! WD40 is kind of a disappointment, it doesn't stick around very long. CRC is the stuff you really want, IMO. 6-56 if you need to go the extra mile.

Try to get some oil spray behind the PTO wheel, to slow rust growth on the crankshaft.

Thank you all for your opinion! Think I will go for the CRC

I don't think I've ever owned as many garage spray products as I do now that I'm into jet skis.....I've thought about installing a special cabinet in my garage just for them.

XPS lube is great and what the manual recommends, however it's $20 a can and needs to be bought at the dealer, although I've found it as cheap as $12 online.

CRC is $8 a can and you can get it at NAPA.

WD40 is cheap and can be bought anywhere but I agree doesn't really stick.

I just looked up the MSDSs for XP-S and the CRC products. They are very similar. I didn't know there was an XP-S comparable product out there, so thanks guys!
