I did something terrible stupid a few days ago. After oiling my oil bike chain with chain/bike spray oil I let it lie in a bucket while it dried, afterward I just washed off the bucket and flushed it down the toilet (Yeah I know you aren't supposed to do that, but it didn't cross my mind), because it didn't seem to be almost any oil in there anyway. Now I got a partially clogged toilet and I'm freaking out. What should I put in the toilet to help dissolve the oil clog, I found a small piece of it in the toilet and it seems soft, but it doesn't wash away.
Oil clog question?
This article is entitled "Preventing Clogs in Your Bathtub" but it has a lot of info about getting rid of clogs that are already there, including motor oil clogs. Hope it helps you.
Reply:That soft thingy you are describing...........
Are you sure it is what it is?
By chance, did you notice the color? Is it brown or something?
Someone had a good dump. It is so good and tight that it has clogged your toilet. S**t happens.
Jokes aside -
1. Turn off water to the water tank.
2. Flush
3. Use the plunger and get rid of the standing water in the toilet.
4. Pour boiling water in the empty toilet bowl.
Remember the principle here: The clog is in the "U trap" at the bottom of the bowl. You are getting rid of that.

In most cases you can open a clogged toilet using a force ball-type plunger . A regular suction cup plunger will seldom do the job (B). A force ball-type plunger exerts a great deal more pressure for cleaning toilets than the regular type.
Be sure to have sufficient water in the toilet bowl when using the plunger.
If the plunger does not clear the clogged drain, use a closet auger. Start the auger or snake into the bowl and continue to crank it until it becomes tight. This cranking and pulling action will usually bring up the object that is causing the stoppage.
If the closet auger is not effective, use a small snake in the same way as described for opening lavatory drains.
If neither the plunger, the closet auger, nor the snake removes the obstruction, you may need to remove the toilet from the floor, turn it upside down, and force the obstruction out from the top or bottom.
If you must remove the toilet from the floor, use either a wax preformed O-ring or fresh plumber's putty in reseating the toilet. http://alsnetbiz.com/homeimprovement/hts...
