Whenever I hear "Mazeltov, Mazeltov" off of the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack, and they sing "the tailor Mottle Tumzoil", I always think about Penzoil.

























It's hard for motor oil to be funny. :(

I use Penzoil. My brother messed up his car by putting two too many quarts of oil in and flooded his engine.

I answered your questions, RSL.

What's wrong with you, RSL :p

I dunno what my favorite is but I had to change the engine oil in my car every week last summer, cos' it leaked so much. ^_^

I voted Pennzoil since I manage their insurance claims at work. Too bad I don't get a discount at Jiffy Lube, though. I just got my oil changed last weekend.

I'm sorry, but I just don't have any funny motor oil stories for you RSL. :)

Mobil 1. Never used it in my car, but it's taste is unforgettable.

I don't really have a favourite, I taste it before I use it... maybe that's why I'm messed up.

I use Penzoil 10w30 cause my daddy says so.

Uhm. I don't have any funny motor oil stories.

Penzoil does a body good.

I don't remember the brand. It's 10W-30.

One time my friend slipped on an oil slick and hit his head on the curb.

This girl helped him up and now they are married.

But he can never walk again.

Happy end?

I woke up in a trailor with a sore rear and my body covered in oil once.

Castrol.

One time while playing Gran Turismo 3, there was a car with a Castrol sponsorship on it, and I made the observation that Castrol backwards is "Lortsac," and that's funny.

I don't like any of them. I've lived in huge cities after I turned 16 and there's no need to drive.

Castrol is great - it makes a superb caramel substitute in a fudge sundae.

Castrol...I've found it lubes the best (and no, I don't use it for my car, because I don't have one). ;)

Don't you guys have Shell or BP in the US?

We're talking about oil to lube engine parts, not petrol. I haven't seen BP around LA, though.

Honestly, I wish LA had a transportation system as remotely well designed as the one found throughout West Europe. Every passing day I grow more and more tired of driving.

This is possibly the single most random, insane poll I've ever witnessed, I love it.

A 'friend' of mine used to get called castrol because his brother told everyone he used it once as a..um..'lubricant', the validity of his claims can never be confirmed nor denied, but we never questioned, just mocked.

I work in insurance, and like most my colleagues, I don't drive, work in insurance for a week & you'll never ever want to own a car.

In America, Amoco stations are still around from before BP and Amoco merged.

Valvoline.

One time me and my best friend "sweetpea" were working on my truck. My girl came over and she wanted to help. She's really cool and I had no problem with that, but I also saw an opportunity to have a little fun. I told her that first you had to be "initiated". That's how you become a good mechanic. She asked if I had and told her my Dad did it to me when I was a little kid. First I had her hold up a ratchet in the air statue-of-liberty style. Then I had her dance around like an indian saying, "Heya Howya Doin, Heya Howya Doin". Then I had her close her eyes. I took some oil, swiped a little under her eyes, down the middle of her forehead, and then on her nose. WHOOSH!! She was initiated.

We have a BP station here in town. But yeah, engine oil, not gasoline.

How does engine oil burn?

Does it burn like petrol? Stronger or weaker flames?
