Every frame has enough holes so it's very easy to get the oil inside the frame. I also use lots of grease on the axle nuts and other fasteners.
For some reason, I could never find a Rustcheck equivalent in the US... until I bought a can of Framesaver... To me, it seems identical.

One thing about Framesaver is that you need to remove the fork, seatpost and bottom bracket to get things moving around. I general spray, plug all tubes and keep rotating the frame every hour or so.

I've used it on my winter bike and the frame seems to be surviving the rust war much better than the other components.
