Someone said he was using Motor Up and Dura Lube.
topical, ingested, or injected - mineral oil will kill rats, and is carcinogenic. i would not use it, unless u want to die or develop a huge cancer, and then die a painful death, before becoming bankrupt from medical bills.

Don't worry. Quickly wipe the mineral oil off with a rag moistened with Xylene! A good scrubbing with lava soap and a stiff bristle brush should do, too.

really?
Seems like it is used topically, injected and ingested.

Highly refined petrolatum ("white mineral oil") is a common ingredient in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals (think Vaseline), and it is considered food safe. Less refined mineral oil can be more or less toxic, mutagenic, or carcinogenic.

Whew, I was getting worried there...!
While pure mineral oil has a low toxicity, some of the additives in a modern motor oil may be far more harmful. Used oil, even worse.
Non-detergent SAE30 would probably make a good bum lube.

I assume you're talking about motor oil, and I'm pretty sure its only considered a carcinogen after it's been exposed to combustion byproducts (i.e. used in an engine). I don't think it classifies as a carcinogen when it's new. Maybe in California, but you can get cancer from anything in that state.

He didn't say what temperature the mineral oil was at...

No, I believe I said I was using "PROLONG".
