Used engine oil's carcinogenic (though we didn't know and didn't worry years ago) and probably hot too, if you're doing it properly.





Rubber gloves, and possibly eye protection if you don't want something falling in there while you're underneath. That's why you always see the guys (and gals) in the garage wearing dinky surgeons' latex gloves. At least, that's what they say!
YOU SHOULD NOT LET OIL GET ON YOUR SKIN AS SOME PEOPLE CAN HAVE DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS FROM THE OIL.YOU SHOULD WEAR RUBBER GLOVES AND DESPICABLE OVALS WHEN CHANGING YOUR OIL.
