Working on the fullscale stuff you cant help but take a bath in oil every now and then. I have been around every oil their is for turbines pretty much and the only oil that messes with me is Mobil 2380. Makes my eyes swell up and itch and irritates my skin. But all other oils do nothing including other mobil products. The one lubricant I cant stand is by far the worst to deal with in aviation is skydroll! I hate that crap. You get it on you and it stays for days even after multiple showers.
With models its not like we fly a whole lot and have big engines with wet gear boxes. So our exposure with models is very minimal so cant see what all the fuss is about.
It's a whole different ball game when burned and inhaled.
If you don't see the problem, perhaps its because you don't want to.
