The seals in Canada haven't changed your fish supply at all.

"farming" to help replace oils is going to be based around genetically engineered algae.

whales?

Using an old number to be extra conservative, 62 million cars on the road (not counting trucks, buses, motorcycles, machinery)

assume 5 quarts of oil per car

310 million quarts, 77.5 millions gallons of oil to lubricate 62 millions engines.

200,000 sperm whales worldwide, average it out to 26,000 kilograms, and convert 100% to whale oil and you'll get about 7500 gallons of oil

so for a completely unrealistic conversion (fudged dramatically to help your troll case), your entire sperm whale population should give you 1.5 billion gallons of raw whale oil.

So you'll lubricate car engines in the US for 20 fluid changes.
Bring in the rest of the things you want to lubricate, bring in the rest of the world and you won't fix anything for more than a few years. Not even with all the weight of all the marine mammals.
