Any oil will work. I have used peanut oil - left over from turkey fry - it
has a high flash point. And I've used mineral oil, which is nice because it
doesn't go rancid. Motor oil is just fine for a one off. It's pretty smelly
though.
Can you put the motor oil in a container with a lid?
Drop the piece in, then sit the lid on (loosely). Won't the stop the smoke and
the stink, but it smothers the flame nicely.
(Works for me)
