I use Spectro Gold in the VFR and Mobil1 in the Ducati... never smells like oil in my garage. What kind of oil you use?

steven113 · 10-31-2008, 06:40 AM

No hard feelings intended. sorry if I offended you, just a poor attempt at humor I guess..

Man, I am glad somebody asked this, now don't feel silly asking my question.....

I think he was joking hence the capital LOL at then end of his statement....

oh, and my garage smells like sawdust, gas, cigars and beer... heavenly.

You guys are lucky. My garage used to have the sweet aroma of gasoline, but not lately. My wife's crazy f**kin aunt just got evicted, so we are storing some of her old lady shit in the garage. So now it smells like old f**kin lady. Pisses me off. I gave her a time limit though, as her stuff will be out on the street if she does not pick it up soon. It's nothing but a bunch of shit that she should have thrown away a long time ago. There is a box that has a least 40 pair of shoes in it from like the 1960s-70s. Unbelievable!

i use Valvoline. but the spilled gas buckets of oil trapped exost from runnin the bike and my stinky self doesent help either.

VT Viffer · 10-31-2008, 10:05 AM

Used oil and gasoline are just some of those smells that never go away.

Until the gasoline evaporates and the oil is disposed of/cleaned up, the smell will persist.

My garage actually smells like Blue Moon Ale when working on my bike.

I'd say this would work for gwolever's problem too. Be grateful she doesn't live with you too. Now if I could get the mother-in-law stank out of my house I'd be all set.
