The motor oil is a liquid. It is not conversable. The printed name is "can of motor oil". It is useful. The description is "The can contains motor oil, meant to reduce friction of moving parts."
The creature response of the motor oil is "[if the motor oil is enclosed by the cell]'What should I do with this? There are no motors here that need oiling.'[paragraph break]'What are you asking me for, monkey boy? It's yours, do what you want with it!' [the creature] responds.[otherwise]'The oil made me slippery.'[paragraph break]'Regrettably I did see that. I won't be able to sleep for a week,' [the creature] says and shakes its head."
Understand "can" and "of" as the motor oil.
Instead of rubbing motor oil on something:
say "It would just become very oily and slippery."
Instead of pouring motor oil on something:
try rubbing motor oil on the second noun.
Instead of putting motor oil on something:

Instead of opening or looking in the motor oil:
say "You open the can and look inside. Yup, motor oil."
Test oil with "test encyclopedia/open encyclopedia/trade it".
