Is that the same thing that will happen if you use motor oil on the body and want to paint it in the future?

I wish I had done this 10 years ago. If I had I would still have 99% of the original paint left. The reason I didn't is because I thought I would just put a cheap paint job on it someday. This truck was in pretty bad shape when I got it and I never thought I would be rebuilding it as far as I have. I probably save it from the junkyard and although it will never be a show winning truck it's still a good truck and I enjoy driving it.
I'm thinking of getting another and taking it back down to the frame and rebuilding it but I enjoy driving this one too much to set it down for that long.
