How can it be BETTER than old engine oil?  The old engine oil is just
a little corrosive from the byproducts of combustion.  Thus, the oil
spreads across the rust destroying it forever.  It then leaves behind
a nice coat of oil which will collect dirt.  The dirt on the oil
protects the car, and is a fantastic perpetual sound deadening under
coating.
