accidentally got a drop of oil..

[Doug]

I was changing my oil filter in my pickup tonight, got a drop in my mouth. Just a drop, not a pour. tasted nasty. I obviously rinsed my mouth out. Not that I'm a hypochondriac, but is a little drop like that REALLY bad for ones health?

Anyone ever get motor oil in their mouth?

I drank probably a few teaspoons of Honda Z1 a few months ago by accident (moving the drain container in the shop caused a bit splash) and I'm still alive.

When I was tranny flushing my truck i accidentally pulled my fill line out while I was under truck checking clamps...mmm tastee.

Oh yeah motor oil too when i slid catch container towards me while I was under truck. I am fine except for the twitch

The little bit of calcium from that drop of oil is good for your bones/body.

Been under cars for 30 years. Oil, tranny fluid,brake fluid, gas, and yes ANTIFREEZE at various times. NONE taste good. ALL are preferable to drippy stuff when servicing a garbage truck fleet.

All of these are why I charge professional rates when people don't want to be the taster. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

You're a mouthbreather?

I've accidentally drunk diesel fuel while trying to syphon it. Except for burping diesel fumes for a day, I am still alive 18 years later.

Power steering fluid tastes nasty too! I got a little carried away when draining the res one day.

Brake fluid and EG antifreeze is the only potentially lethal liquid mentioned above ..at least from a poisonous standpoint.

Look at all the MSDS sheets for motor oil. It will be an excellent laxative, imo, ..but otherwise should go through you like "XXXX through a goose".

Naturally, it's not on any recommended diet that I've even seen ..and it doesn't have the percentages listed in relation to daily adult requirements for vitamins and minerals.

A lab rat once turned into a 100 Lb cancerous cyst when researchers gave it some used motor oil to drink.

It should lubricate that GI tract. Stay close to a toilet.

You may be on to something there, Drew. New acid is transported under DOT ..uses acid is EPA. Our neighboring county has a Hazmat team. They had a waste spill to clean up. When asked what they used, the guy said "bleach, naturally". When a bunch of bleach got spilled they were asked what they used. The replied, "Water"

What brand and grade of oil was it? And more importantly, what was the OCI?

 

[Doug]

that's encouraging!

Haven't you seen the warnings? Used motor oil isn't good to injest or have prolonged exposure with the skin. Wear rubber/nitrile gloves under your mechanics gloves for better protection.

I've got motor oil in my eye and it burned like crazy but never in my mouth.

 

[moribundman]

That's just because you are not used to putting oil in, or rather on, your eye.
