Attention! Prolonged and frequent contact of the skin with engine oil washes away sebum, which causes dryness and irritation of the skin and can lead to dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains hazardous impurities that can cause skin cancer.
Attention! When changing engine oil, precautions should be taken to minimize oil contact with skin. The use of protective clothing and gloves is recommended. To remove used engine oil from your hands, wash your hands with soap and water or a water-free hand cleanser. Do not use gasoline, thinners or solvents.
Attention! To protect the environment, used oil and oil filters should only be stored in designated areas.
