This is obviously a prank. Motor oil on its own is not going to polymerize into a rubbery material. Even if coolant leaked into the oil, I very seriously doubt it would turn into this stuff. I call BS.

I think someone dumped some stuff that they shouldn’t have down the oil filler. Maybe some Jell-O 🙂

Forget gelatin.

It has to cool to set after boiling.

But add corn starch to a liquid that’s already hot, guess what happens?
