Isn't engine oil basically a carcinogen and it's typically recommended to use work gloves while handling it?

Oh yes, Mt Hamilton Road, my favorite road to terrorize in my MGB, back in the early 70s. I had a neighbor that had an older Porsche and he and I would race to the top, starting at Grant Lake. Even though he was a lousy driver, he usually beat me. I guess I should have changed the oil in my car before we raced …. humfrz |

Have a look around this forum for some used oil analyses. UOA’s are posted on this forum under tracked conditions going even beyond the manufacturers recommended intervals. Quote:

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 ... humfrz |
