Motor oil...

One of the most interesting colors to work with is motor oil. I did up some worms for a friend's request using motor oil over a light amber and again over fluorescent orange. They turned out really nice so I took time to use the left overs from his order on baits for myself. In one light the motor oil is greener than duck weed but in the shade its a nice subtle brown. Crazy how it transitions from color to color by itself but then toss these other colors under it and a whole new color world opens up. Motor oil is no doubt a fun color to play with. This motor oil is Do-It's X2 color and is color fast....no bleed.

Nice, never used motor oil for crappies. Caught a lot of Bass on the man's motor oil worms over the years.

we have used motor oil all by itself it is very effective for crappie it has always been a good color anyway on the snake River in Oregon have not tried it here in Texas all by itself but I would imagine it should be really good.ctom you did a fantastic job like always I enjoy seeing your work.

A winning combo as far as I'm concerned. Was always good for bass, but never tried it on crappie. I like.

Was just telling a friend yesterday about using those old Mann's motor oil worms when stationed in south Fl. Fishing that dark Tannic water in the glades motor oil does some crazy stuff with differences in sunlight and that water. Brown, red green and all kinds of shades. Bass in hyacinths loved it.

Great looking colors.

Interesting as my motor oil from do it is a clear light gold color. What mixture did you use to obtain the green? Any highlight ? Attachment 210130

This is mine? Can't get the green color like you show. Scratch head lol

Here is motor out by ispike. Attachment 210131

It's more of a redish color

I think mine was 15 drops in 4 ounces. The light has a lot to do with how motor oil appears. This was in shade immediately next to super bright sunshine....early day, like 7:00 am. At noon it would look completely different in the same setting..

Ok will give that a try tommorow. No highlight that I can see. I wonder if it is that color stand alone is feeding off the orange

Them baits are pure Blue ribbon winners..........................

There's a bunch of bronze hi lite I the MO in the picture.

Your comments got me to wondering and I got in the closet and pulled all of my X2 colorants out. The bottle that made this color is one from when the X2 colors first came out....before Do-It bought the company from Jason. I have a more recent bottle and did a shoot tonight and indeed the color is more like what your color is like....the amber. I know Do-It had a problem getting the Motor Oil formulated awhile back and maybe getting the green was the issue.

I thought only mf, bears old motor oil and spike it had colour changing motor oil and the rest were non colour changing?

Ok thanks man cause I thought I was going crazy. I like the green but my bottles won't make that color. Wish I had a bottle of that color lol

That's the motor oil color I always knew and fished .

be careful adding motor oil you can get it to dark .

Motor oil get used a lot here in us realia, here's one with I spike it colorant

Does anyone sell motor oil that is green not the red from spike it or gold from do it?

M-F has a motor oil like what you're looking for.

Ok found it thanks. Didn't know about that company.

If you order from MF be certain to know which loran you are ordering. Thy have two different selections. One is for bleeding colors and one is for non bleeding. I have a small bottle of the non bleed in motor oil, but as Bob states, its potent stuff and will darken a batch in a blink.

Ok thanks I will order a bottle soon of it and try it out. Love that color.

I have The old Bears color changing motor oil.
