    CAUTION:
    Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to
    dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which
    may cause skin cancer.

    Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid contact with used oil. If contact occurs, wash your skin thoroughly
    with soap or waterless hand cleaner. Never use gasoline, thinners, or solvents to wash the skin.

    In order to protect the environment, dispose of used oil and used oil filters at designated disposal sites only.
