Welp, that depends upon whether or not you are a mouse. If you are a mouse and bath for 365 days or longer in used motor oil, you may get cancer.

My abstract of one abstract from one scientific study says:

"Long-term exposure (365 days or longer) of the skin to used mineral-based crankcase oil causes skin cancer in mice."


Your call ...
