Engine Compartment Rust 200

My 1986 240 has almost no visible rust on the body, but when I powerwashed the engine compartment I found surface rust all over.

Since it's difficult to get at it all, I was wondering if there is something to treat the rusty areas with to keep it from getting worse.

I wiped one area down with engine oil, and was thinking that some grease might even be better.


Any suggestions?

Thanks
