well this is my best use for it,

having saved, a few oil changes worth over the year, 6 gallons....


oil painted fences,
done this a few times,
bit of a chore brushing it on but the fences look great 4 years,




b4 and after,







could take a while ive got 12 panels to do ....

good idea; protects better than fence preservative; recycles an otherwise scrap product and cats hate the smell of it apparently (which is a bonus in my eyes if it keeps them out of my garden)

My oil painted fences are jet black !

I'm guessing your oil had done a few more miles though...

I'll have to get a photo of the back fence.

I thought engine oil was an old trick ?

My old man's been mixing old oil and creosote for years.

Certainly works - not even the birdsh!t sticks to it !
