4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If affected, move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not
breathing or if no heartbeat, give artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR). Immediately call a physician. If symptoms or irritation occur with
any exposure, call a physician.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If
symptoms or irritation occur, call a physician.
If product is accidentally injected into or under the skin, regardless of wound size or
initial absence of symptoms, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a
physician as a surgical emergency.
Ingestion: Not expected to be acutely toxic. If large amounts are swallowed, immediately call a
physician.
Eye contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms or
irritation occur, call a physician.
Notes to physician: High velocity injection under the skin may result in serious injury. If left untreated the
affected area is subject to infection, disfigurement, lack of blood circulation and may
require amputation. When dispensed by high pressure equipment this material can
easily penetrate the skin and leave a bloodless puncture wound. Material injected
into a finger can be deposited into the palm of the hand. Within 24-48 hours the
patient may experience swelling, discoloration, and throbbing pain in the affected
area. Immediate treatment by a surgical specialist is recommended.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: For small fires, Class B fire extinguishing media such as
CO2, dry chemical, foam (AFFF/ATC) or water spray can be
used. For large fires, water spray, fog or foam (AFFT/ATC)
can be used. Fire fighting should be attempted only by those
who are adequately trained and equipped with proper
protective equipment.
Specific hazards: This material is not combustible per the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard, but will ignite and burn at elevated
temperatures.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Avoid using straight water streams. Water spray and foam
(AFFF/ATC) must be applied carefully to avoid frothing and
from as far a distance as possible. Avoid excessive water
spray application. Use water spray to cool exposed surfaces
from as far a distance as possible. Keep run-off water out of
sewers and water sources.
Flash point: 430 F, 221.1 C
Autoignition temperature: No data available.
Flammable limits in air - lower (%): No data available.
Flammable limits in air - upper (%): No data available.

Other: - Special: *See Section 8 for guidance in selection of
personal protective equipment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Keep public away. Isolate and evacuate area. Shut off source if safe to do so.
Advise authorities and National Response Center (800-424-8802) if substance has
entered a watercourse or sewer. Advise local and state emergency services
agencies, if appropriate. Contain liquid with sand or soil. Recover and return free
product to proper containers. Use suitable absorbent materials such as vermiculite,
sand, or clay to clean up residual liquids.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Comply with all applicable EPA, OSHA, NFPA and consistent state and local requirements. Use appropriate grounding
and bonding practices. Store in properly closed containers that are appropriately labeled and in a cool well-ventilated
area. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld on empty containers since they may contain explosive residues. Do not pressurize
or expose to heat, open flames, strong oxidizers or other sources of ignition.
Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact. Exercise good personal hygiene including removal of soiled clothing and
prompt washing with soap and water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Engineering measures: Local or general exhaust required when using at elevated temperatures that
generate vapors or mists.
Respiratory protection: Not required under normal conditions and adequate ventilation. Approved organic
vapor chemical cartridge or supplied air respirators should be worn when significant
vapors are generated. Observe respirator protection factor criteria cited in ANSI
Z88.2. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for fire fighting.
Skin and body protection: Use chemical resistant gloves such as neoprene, nitrile, or PVA to prevent prolonged
or repeated skin contact.
Eye protection: No special eye protection is normally required.
Hygiene measures: No data available.

Acute toxicity:

Name CAS Number Inhalation: Dermal: Oral:
Marathon VEP Heavy Duty Motor Oil Mixture LD50 = 2.18 to >4 mg/l LD50 >2 gm/kg LD50 >5 ml/kg
[Rat] [Rabbit] [Rat]
Based on data from components this product is considered to have a low order of acute oral and dermal toxicity. Chronic
skin painting studies with severely solvent refined neutral oils did not produce evidence of skin cancer in mice.
This product contains approximately 0-1.5% of a zinc alkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) additive. ZDDP has been found to
have weak mutagenic activity in cultured cells. Repeated dermal exposures of ZDDP produced severe skin irritation,
significant weight loss and testicular atrophy in male rabbits but not male rats at high concentrations. Subsequent
research showed that the testicular effect was due to the severe stress and weight loss as seen with other caustic
materials and not a direct effect of ZDDP. The concentration of ZDDP in this product is significantly lower than exposure
levels that produced these effects in rabbits.
Used motor oil applied to the skin of rabbits at doses of 8 ml/kg/day, 5 days/wk, for two weeks, produced significant
weight loss and skin irritation but no mortality. Used motor oil was found to produce skin tumors in mice in lifetime skin
painting studies. Solvent extracts of used motor oils were found to be positive in the Ames mutagenicity test.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity effects: Water accomated fractions (WAF) of highly refined base oils did not produce acute
toxicity in fish (100-1000 mg/l), fresh water algae (500 mg/l) or daphnia (10,000 mg/l)
in 48-96 hour LC50 studies.
Used motor and/or lube oils can be toxic to birds and fish.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Cleanup Considerations: This material as supplied and by itself, when discarded or
disposed of, is not an EPA RCRA hazardous waste
according to federal regulations. This material could become
a hazardous waste if mixed or contaminated with a
hazardous waste or other substance(s). It is the
responsibility of the user to determine if disposal material is
hazardous according to federal, state and local regulations.
