Just don’t flood it .
put it on and rub it in and off.
some people say it can get in under frets and lift them.
These days I just use Crimson Guitar Products on my fretboards .
I also use there guitar tools .
Probably because I’ve been brainwashed over the years Watching to many of Ben Crowes guitar building videos and live stream guitar builds.
I suspect Osmo might give you a similar level of protection with much easier application, but @Roland will be the one to ask in that regard.
Literally a minute dab is all you want at a time. Boiled linseed oil is more forgiving to practice with.
Also - @ghad - TruOil in a finished state is basically a zero to very light tint stuff. Granted it has a colour to it in gloopy liquid form, but it's applied so thinly that it makes almost negligible difference.
There’s lots of other alternatives in this day and age though, so go with whatever gives the easiest application.

If you're getting anything resembling a vintage tint off your finished product, you've either got the patience of a saint and have applied about 50 coats or you're using it wrong I'm afraid.
If you want an idea, google a Fender Custom Shop Light Tint, and thats about what Tru Oil will do for you.
