It's not that it had no business....because that's not true. When used correctly it's completely fine. Trick is to not put too much on and to ensure you don't let any roll over the edge of the fitting so that it would be in the oil stream. I use it sparingly and keep it neat and it's no issue. Also important to clean up any left on threads when taking parts apart that have it.
