WARNING!
Used motor oil may cause skin cancer if
repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged
periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle
used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to
thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as
soon as possible after handling used oil.
NOTE: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a
sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
