It won't do anything to you if you smell motor oil.

Answer 2

There'd be a lot of mechanics and lube techs in hospitals and/or dying at under 30 years old if the smell of oil was especially harmful or fatal. In other words, don't worry about it.

Answer 3

Not harmful. But hard to clean up.

Answer 4

YES! Absolutely! You're going to die!

But NOT Today.

Answer 5

No. A whiff of it will not affect you. If you inhaled the fumes for a long period it might well do some harm.

Answer 6

I think it's bad when a nonChristian smells it.
