Has any member done this?
Are there any pitfalls doing this?

Used engine oil is smelly, filthy and dangerous when allowed to dribble on footpaths or roads. As above, use products designed for purpose. The days of spraying used engine oil under and in the cavities of your car are long gone (thankfully). I have caught puddles of oil/diesel etc whilst riding my motorcycle in the past and would happily have "sorted out" those who had allowed it to get onto the road! Big brother is watching you!
