I would advise against using motor oil or cooking oil.....it will not be a pleasant experience for you both....and can ruin your hair.

Much better to use biodegradable substances that have the look and feel of oil, but do not have the unpleasant effects of real oil.....e.g. try maple syrup or methylgycose (slime that you mix in a powder form and is often used on movies like Aliens and Ghostusters and many gameshows involving gunge or slime. I have done many scenes with our models using syrup and slime and the nice thing is that it is totally biodegradable and dissolves into water when you you wash off with a waterhose....and then it disppears down the draiin without clogging up your drainpipes. Maple Syrup will smell nice and washes off real easily. Methyl powder (slime ingredient) has no smell at all, and feels nice...they use the same chemical compound to make KY Jelly and oher sexual lubricants....but don't swallow it....because they also use the same ingredient to make laxatives as well.....so swallowiing it is not something you want to do unless you want to pebblesdash your driveway..
