    Serviced axels today, bearings, seals, brakes etc. i wish I had immediately placed the oil pan full of old gear oil outside. The shop furnace picked up and amplified the odor. Even the cab of my truck now reeks of nasty old gear oil. I’ve showered yet as I sit here I can smell it still. Please make it stop. :anonymous: Oh mannnnn

    I guess different smells effect us different gear oil really does not bother me at all.

    Some women wear perfume I think smells much worse !!

    Newark in the seventies by far worse.

    I agree with this BIG TIME. Actually gear oil smell is just real men cologne. Need to find me a woman that will appreciate real men cologne... :rofl:
    And I do smell some colognes and perfumes that are so strong they make me almost dry heave, the smells stay in your mouth and nostrils just from the person walking by you and that's it
    :puke:

    What an awesome movie. Now that he's old and I'm old it doesn't matter to say it:D but Pitt is one of my favorite actors... Like by far. He just seems so cool, like we could've totally kicked it back in the day(with his diet of beer and spliffs:rofl:)

    Gear oil is the worst, it gets in youre sinuses and can taste it for days. Citrus smells help but not nearly as much as making someone else deal with it.
