Rustproofing 2025 Sienna XSE AWD

Hi folks,

I've picking up my 2025 Sienna XSE AWD tomorrow. Should I rust proof (oil spray)? Toyota sells the rustproofing electronic module for ~CAD 1,800, which seems very pricey to me. Alternatively, I can go with rustproofing spray at Canadian Tire (CAD 160 every 2 years). I live in Toronto, Canada and would like to protect my vehicle from salt and rust.
Any suggestions? Can I really spray rustproofing oil underneath such a hybrid vehicle?

Krown all day long. No, I dont work for them and I have zero affiliation with them, but I can tell you from personal experience it works, and I take all my cars there.
I can also say a buddy of mine got the module and it didnt work worth a damn. And for $1800, thats 10 years of rust proofing.
No, it does not harm your vehicle, hybrid or not, and despite a dealer will surely tell you this, it does not void your warranty.
And the oil has dielectric properties so no, it does not create any problems for the HV cable. In fact, Toyota had issues with Rav HV cables rusting prematurely I believe. This would have stopped it.
And I'm an hour west of you so I also deal with the same crappy road salt.

Do you wash the undercarriage? I wash mine at least every 2 weeks in a drive through car wash. My 2002 4runner's frame still look good.
