Are you treating the wood or the soil?

Creosote and Carbolineum come to mind.

Old motor vehicle oil?
I read somewhere that fence poles back in the day where dipped and or painted in old engine old and are still standing to this day. Big brand products last around 30 years, oil even longer.
Some people might say it contaminates the ground water. If you look at the warnings on the side of the creosote bottle, you need to work with a breathing apparatus.
I have just finished painting all my deck poles with creosote, which i was told is H4 treated, however when i requested documentation, none could be provided. When you pay R30 a pole you should know better than to believe the fella selling them. I read up about the engine oil only after i finished painting the pole
Found this while doing some research.
"How dangerous is creosote?
These reports indicate that brief exposure to large amounts of coal tar creosote may result in a rash or severe irritation of the skin, chemical burns of the surfaces of the eye, convulsions and mental confusion, kidney or liver problems, unconsciousness, or even death."
I certainly recommend you take care to get the creosote on the wood rather than yourself
