In addition, the advanced additives contained in today's motor oils are highly toxic and carcinogenic, requiring extensive decontamination procedures if even a small amount comes in contact with skin. The new "synthetic" motor oils are even more hazardous; the small amounts of radioactive material they contain benefit your engine by helping to break down impurities, but also make them unsafe to touch or smell.
Qualified oil change technicians have been immunized against these risks, but unskilled individuals attempting to change motor oil are putting their health - and that of their families - in grave jeopardy. To help prevent these tragedies, our association is sponsoring federal legislation requiring all engines to be fitted with locking drain plugs that can only be opened by a duly-qualified association-certified technician.
