What should I do if I get engine oil in my eye?
Help! I was checking my engine oil and accidentally rubbed my eye with my hand that had oil on it. What should I do?

Oh no! It’s easy to accidentally contaminate your eyes when performing vehicle maintenance, but you should take action to flush the chemical out of your eyes immediately.
To flush your eye:
- Rinse your eye with water in a shower, under a faucet, or with a clean container of water
- When rinsing your eye, position your face with the injured eye down and to the side
- Flush with lukewarm water for 15 to 30 minutes
- Do not rub the eye or bandage the eye
- Seek medical care at an eye doctor’s office or emergency room
As you protect yourself from further engine oil mishaps, make sure your car is protected with the right
