In Vermont, we usually use bar and chain oil cut with diesel. It's good for about a year or two and it lasts longer if you hit a car wash first and a dusty road right afterword. A lot of the oldtimers back home have trucks they bought new in the seventies and they can still pull parts off without a torch. Just don't skip a year once you start. For some reason, the dust that cakes on eventually seems to wick up moisture really well once the oil dries up.

For those using Fluid Film, are you somehow spraying inner panels, like doors etc?

I live 4 blocks from the Ocean, and the salt air and fog wreaks havoc on anything metal that is parked outside. I didn't even know that oil spraying was a thing. One part on my K5 that has been hit the worst is the upper part of the windshield frame. I can poke my finger through the inside, all the way to the outside. I have another k5 body that I am trying to prep to swap out, and am concerned about the same area. What should I do to protect the inside of the windshield frame from rust?

Used it last year on my K5. Survived a salty winter here in NY just fine. I did convert any rust and paint first before spraying on the FF.
Only interior pannels I did was removing the door pannels and rear pannels. Oh yeah and inside the tailgate.
Messy as hell but like I said it kept the underside clean.

One of my first jobs in high school was at a body shop. I was tasked with bringing all the wreckers in they had and pour drain oil into to doors and rockers.
I'd pour it in and it would drain out the holes and seams onto old newspaper, owner swore by it.
