Alright, bout 2months ago I spilled motor oil on my driver side rear caliper, pads etc...after i bleed the brakes from replacing a line, that side just will not work right. Went riding for a weekend thinking it would maybe get better, stilll not right. Think the oil ruined the pads?

You can try boiling the oil out of the pads with some heat however no guarrantee. Do not get them too hot as it will make them crumble. BTW do not breath the fumes.

Stick some Carbotechs in.
We used to munch a set per meeting or two, no matter what we used, switched to XP8's and the same set are still in the front 18 months later...

soak em in gas for a few hours then let them dry in the sun. Or just spray em good with brake parts cleaner and ley it go. They'll shape up.
