Engine oil is poisonous and must be stored out of the reach of children.
Store engine oil only in the closed original container. This also applies to used oil until

To reduce the risk of poisoning, never drain the oil into empty food or beverage
containers that might mislead someone into drinking from them.
Continuous contact with used engine oil is harmful to your skin. Always protect your skin
by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
Engine oil becomes extremely hot when the engine is running and can cause severe
