        Hi, good question boys!

        The oils we put into engines are normally provided in a plastic bottle, much like the bottle that other liquids come in. The oil itself is not very dangerous, but if a lot of it was spilt then it could be harmful to the environment and animals if not cleaned up quickly.

        Does that answer your question?
