# Many say that it also permitted if it was poured into the Chanukiya but never lit.<Ref>Torat HaMoadim 5:26 permits the extra oil even if it was poured into the Chanukiya but was never lit. He cites Sh”t Mahari MeBruna 51, Sharei Knesset HaGedolah 673:8, Magen Avraham 673:8, Eliyah Raba 673:11, and Erech Hashulchan 672:5 as his support in opposition to the Olot [[Shabbat]] 672 who based on the Rama says one shouldn’t use oil that was put in the Chanukia and not lit. Chazon Ovadyah ([[Chanukah]] pg 160) agrees. </ref> | # Many say that it also permitted if it was poured into the Chanukiya but never lit.<Ref>Torat HaMoadim 5:26 permits the extra oil even if it was poured into the Chanukiya but was never lit.

# One who has forbidden oil should burn it and not keep it around until next [[Chanukah]]. Some, however, have the Minhag to keep it until the burning of Chametz. <ref> Tur 677 in name of Maharam MeRotenburg says not to keep it until next [[Chanukah]] because someone may come to use the forbidden oil. Mishna Brurah 677:19 and Torat HaMoadim 5:27 agree. Halichot Yosef (pg 499) and Piskei Teshuvot 677:9, however, write that the Minhag Balza is to use it for burning the chametz. </ref> | # One who has forbidden oil should burn it and not keep it around until next [[Chanukah]].

# Even though one isn’t allowed to nullify a forbidden object Lechatchila, after the fact if forbidden oil was mixed with 60 times that amount of permitted oil, the forbidden oil is nullified. If some oil was already added, then one is permitted to add more permitted oil to nullify it. Some say that even in that case one can’t nullify a forbidden object Lechatchila. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 677:4. See Chazon Ovadyah ([[Chanukah]] pg 160-6) and Torat HaMoadim 5:28 at length. </ref> | # Even though one isn’t allowed to nullify a forbidden object Lechatchila, after the fact if forbidden oil was mixed with 60 times that amount of permitted oil, the forbidden oil is nullified.

# The wicks have the same halacha as the oil. <Ref> The Tur 677:4 writes that the prohibition of the leftover oil applies also to the leftover wicks. Kitzur S”A 139:20, Aruch Hashulchan 677:6, Piskei Teshuvot 677:9, and Nitei Gavriel 57:1 concur. Rav Hershel Schachter (Halachipedia Article 5773 #12) said that it is ineffective to make a stipulation for the wicks because they themselves are used for the mitzvah. See, however, Shevet HaKehati 1:200, who writes that since the wicks are burnt the same amount whether they burn for a short or long time, they may be used even if they go out within a half hour. </ref> | # The wicks have the same halacha as the oil. <Ref> The Tur 677:4 writes that the prohibition of the leftover oil applies also to the leftover wicks.
