Can a run out of oil cause an engine to seize?
If running out of oil can cause an engine to seize, then it should come as no surprise that the same thing can occur if it can’t circulate in the first place.

What kind of oil do you spray on a spreader?
Started out as a trick on fertilizer spreaders and our tankers at the farm, as fertilizer is just as corrosive if not more then salt. We take hydraulic oil and thin it down with diesel fuel and spray it with an old paint gun. I use it on my truck frames, blades and spreaders as well. Works good and is cheaper for us then using a bunch of FF.
