Don't let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap andwater, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.) Used oil can be a real threat to the environment.
