      Yeah, it's not oil, it's cosmoline. They sprayed it on the engine bays to keep rust away. Dealers were supposed to pressure wash it off once the cars were stateside, but many did not. It dried/baked on and is rather difficult to remove now.

        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

              Doubtful, my car didn't have that option (or any, even hubcaps) when shipped and was coated with layer upon layer of comsmoline.
