CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the loss of natural oil 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.
