Nothing to do with bacteria, you won't get that from car fluids anyway, but if you've ever seen people with bad dermatitus* (my brother and father suffer from it upon contact with oils - although the BH stuff seems to stop it for the occasional bit of work), or ever had go to A&E because you left a metal splinter in filthy hands and by the time you got home they'd swollen to the size of a small child (the tetnus shot is no fun either, never mind them fishing about for the splinter with a scalpel), you start and take care of them a bit more!
*The skin tightens up overnight from drying out so much that every movement of their hands opens big splits right through the skin, stays like that for days, not exactly comfortable for working when you're bleeding everywhere every time you move your hands.
