Default Any non-food use for olive oil?

Bought some extra virgin olive oil some years ago. It wasn't brilliant,
didn't get used very much, and eventually got abandoned in favour of a
better one. Still have two 1l bottles in the garage, long way past the
use-by date, and it's got even worse with age - now smells rather like
oil based gloss paint. (I'm dubious about contamination from the plastic
bottles - only by it in glass bottles now.) Can anyone think of anything
useful to do with it which doesn't involve eating it (or smelling it)?


Years ago an American colleague told me he used to participate in Mazola
(corn oil) parties. It was a long time ago and my memory isn't what it
was, but I think there was something about rubber sheets and young
ladies...
