As noted by stcredzero, nitrile rubber performs much better when handling oil-based products. Although its physical and chemical properties vary depending on the polymer’s composition of nitrile, this form of synthetic rubber is generally resistant to oil, fuel, and other chemicals (the more nitrile within the polymer, the higher the resistance to oils but the lower the flexibility of the material). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile_rubber http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile_rubber
