I think this person just poured it over the bike. It covered the shifters, the wheels, the brakes, the frame…everything. Dirtiest bike I’ve ever worked on. It’s the most extreme but I’ve seen many others…including the guy who oiled his disc brakes because they were squeaking…I kid you not!
That is not because they used motor oil, that is because they don't know how to clean their bike and obviously don't care.
