A member asked:
Motor oil can cause cancer or irritate skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, Yes: Nobody's been able to measure an increased cancer risk consistently from motor oil; I think the studies of increased pancreatic cancer in mechanics are statistical flukes. The stuff does irritate your skin some if it's dirty.
