Default prevent rust on dolly's using oil and heat

I read somewhere that you could prevent your dolly's from rusting by soaking them in oil and heating them in an oven a couple of times, but can't find it again. Does anyone know anything about it??
Thanks
Reid

I have used transmission fluid on my raw, unpainted turbo headers to prevent rust. The heat baked the fliud in and prevented rust.

That's how you season a WOK or Cast Iron Pan. You coat it in oil(many people use peanut oil) and heat it. It prevents rust and keeps food from sticking in the pan.

Well, that is the short story. What you do when you season cast iron cookware is clean it real good (removing any rust or stuck on food), preheat it to get rid of any moisture, apply your oil (I use crisco) and bake it at 400 degrees + for an hour to carbonize the oil. Deep casting flaws take a couple application/bake cycles to fill in the porosity. Then just wipe it out and apply a light coating of oil when you are done cooking.

Am I on a camping forum? Oops.

I would never put my anvils in the oven. I would melt the grease out of the bearings.
