You can never have too much lube

Does it go well with meat or fish ?

please no synthetic oil, thank you!

10W-40 is some rather thick stuff.

“Goodyear”…Oh wait, that’s a tire not oil.

No Valvoline or Quaker State? And how about a 5W-20?

Which one goes with fish?

…and for an appetizer, I’ve been saving this wonderful bottle of triple “XXX” Virgin Olive Oil from Italy…..salute!

I have vintage 1982 STP and Pennzoil cans of oil.

None of that sissy grease juice for me. Straight up antifreeze with a hydraulic fluid chaser. It’s been a rough week.

Take either one and rub it on my joint to get my motor running!

I’ve always been a fan of distilled liquid

Would anyone care for some powdered graphite?

“They all sound great, but I’ll just have a Valvoline®… straight-up, and she’ll have a 3-in-1® . We’d also love a plate of nuts ‘n’ bolts with some blue Loctite® on the side!”

“I’m watching my carbs, how about some 0W-16?”

Got anything organic?

Very expensive drinks these days!

Just a keg of diesel please

Don’t go with the Mobil 1 – it’s fake oil. (Only applies to this cartoon)

“Oil…can…” —Jack Haley

I’d rather have something a little lighter, some lighter fluid please.

Since I’m the driver, give me the 10-40…..

Might as well be drinking Guinness. burp. :)

Hi Little Alien Dude!!!!!!! :)

They’ll all be well lubricated by the end of the evening. :)

Good vintages.

There’s another good way to get “lubricated.”

Was 2008 a good year?

If it was Bender, he’d rather have a beer!
