I have to disagree, after living there for 28 years and having multiple vehicles of varying degrees of repair. If you're leaking oil under the vehicle and that's how you're maintaining the vehicle in the winter, you have bigger problems than salt and rust. I sure hope that no brand new vehicle has any leaks of any sort that would coat any part of the vehicle with oil or another fluid. As mentioned before, it's unwise in sub-freezing weather, but it's really your best protection outside of doing some kind of undercoating or similar process to protect the vehicle.Avoid car washes until spring or when they stop salting the damn roads and FFS don't use an undercarriage wash if you oil undercoated. You'll blow all the oil off and then have no protection at all. Oil is your only salvation up here.
