Any kind of spray on protection for oil pans?
Chatting w/ a friend tonight and he's being told his oil pan on his 2015(?) Ram 1500 is developing some "soft" spots. So he asked me if there was any kind of spray on stuff he could use to either help...

Even in the saltiest of environments, it takes many decades to rust an oil pan out from the outside in. I'd tell him to not worry about it. If I was really that concerned, I'd probably clean and paint the oil pan before I'd put some kind of coating on it that'd just hold more moisture and salt.
Try living in NY State or Ontario Cda with a steel oil pan. Can take less than 10 years to rot it out.
I was about to type the same thing. Here in PA. a friend of mine, who owns a small fleet of pickups, was furious when his first Superduty needed a new pan. It was nowhere near a decade old, and one heck of a bill.
