No, used motor oil is not a cure for mange. At the very best, you would simply manage to severely poison your dog through dermal absorption of the various chemicals in the used motor oil; at worst, you would lethally poison your dog.
Mange is a dermal infestation of exctoparasites called mites. There are several different types of mange, and each one is fairly species specific. Treatment for mange relies on killing these mites - used motor oil will not - and on controlling the underlying issues that allowed a severe mite infestation.

∙ 15y agoMy dog had mange when I was a kid, and we were so poor, Daddy poured used motor oil on him and it cured him.
But if you can, it would be much better to go to the vet and get some real medicine for him. There are many forms of mange also.......and it would also depend on how long the dog has had the mange. Don't put anything on him if his skin is broken without at least consulting the vet.

What is the treatment available for mange in dogs Are there permanent cures available?
It depends on the form of mange that your dog has. I believe even the most serious forms of mange are treatable with antibiotics and vet care. My puppy had a common form of mange that I was told to watch. As long as it does not spread or get worse, it should clear up as they age. If it doesn't clear up or it gets worse, see your vet asap.

Can sulfadine help a dog with some types of mange?
I don't know, but I have cured a dog of one type of the mange by the application of burnt motor oil. When I say burnt, I mean oil that has been drained from the crankcase of a vehicle when the oil was changed. An older man told me it would work, and the dog was fine within a short time. i don't know if it will help with other kinds of mange.
