Answer:
When the moisture comes in contact with the metal surface, it oxidizes and forms a coat of rust. ... As oil and water do not mix with each other, oiling forms a protective coating for the metal and hence prevent it from rusting. Oil can penetrate the oxide-water on the metal and stabilize it.
