WARNING:

Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the
engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.

A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is
dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never
work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported
on safety stands.

Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in
laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water
immediately after working with engine oil.

you fail to wipe the spilled engine oil, it will produce fumes because
of the heat.
