We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@care2.com saying something like:
Ok. Have it your own way - just don't blame anyone else for posting a load of rubbish. Engine oil as hair conditioner additive - I've read it all now. Perhaps in Rajnapur in 1920, someone found it gave a lovely Brylcreem-like sheen to their bonce.
I'd be careful with all drying oils.
And I recall seeing fireproof "oily rags" containers with heavy self-closing lids, so it may apply to other oils as well.

Unless I'm mistaken I think the article talks about new engine oil being used for hand cleaning, not filthy stuff.
Re engine oil as conditioner, I guess some clarification is needed. The article says clearly it should not be done and why, but maybe that aint clear enough.
