Mr. Bean asked:


I found a lot of motor oil around the place I pour oil into my engine. This oil is not a result of any extra oil that came out while adding oil to the engine but it came during my daily car use.

What does that mean?

What kind of oil to use on a squeaky wood chair?

Solunas asked:


I just bought a beautiful gently used wood rocker but it squeaks. What is the best oil to use for a good piece of wood furniture? I have olive oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, grapeseed oil, castor oil and mineral oil already on hand. Will any of these work without doing harm to the wood? I’d prefer a natural and inexpensive solution.
