I not a being a wimp here, but I would rather not put up with burning my hands. I will try out the degreaser and Dawn®.
I actually prefer to change my oil when it's hot. Makes it come out a lot quicker. My fingers have been burnt, cut, and smashed so many times (did that tonight as a matter of fact 
) that I don't feel it much anymore. Oh well.

I tried finding DAWN at Wal-Mart to de-grease my gloves, but all I could find was Cindy. She slapped me when I asked her if she would come home and de-grease me.

Use the old GOJO. The stuff that has no pumice in it. That orange GOJO leaves your hands smelling pretty good, but it does not compare to the old stuff. I remember it from my dads machine shop when I was a kid. That stuff will take grease off anything. Even a kid that played on top of an engine that had been removed from a truck. HEHE, I was covered from head to toe with thick gooey grease. I believe it has a little diesel in it also. Smell it next time you have some available.

SO many comedians ands so little time. 
I work in a safety culture that requires the use of work gloves to do just about anything. I have since gotten used to the idea that work gloves are a very good thing. I also used to buy the expensive mechanx gloves but have found that Walmart sells a similar glove in the men's clothing section for less than ten dollars. They are the same glove less the writing. I wash mine with my dirty work clothes and let them drip dry. They will last thru about a dozen washings.

more like the consistency of Powerservice, and smells like it as well.
Has to be circa 1985 or so.
It gets anything and everything off the hands, arms and elbows.
Have to wash with regular soap 2-3 times to get rid of the smell.
