Go to the vet, this is not something you can diagnose yourself.

You're going to have to consult your veterinarian on this one.
Heres why:
There are three different kinds of mange (sarcoptic, demondectic, cheyletiella) which can be mistaken for other conditions.
Your vet will have to differentiate what kind of mange the dog has (and decide if it is mange and not another skin condition)through a skin scraping analysis, since the mites themselves are microscopic.
The medications involved are also prescribed medications. If you can't afford the possible bill, try to work out a payment plan with your vet (many vets will do this for people).
Please don't put car oil or any drugs on/in your dog that you don't know about.
This can result in an even worse case scenario:
- Getting your dog's stomach pumped
- Dog ending up having a fatal reaction to strange drugs/dosages
~ Hope this helps!

dude, need to know if it's scabies or demodectic mange. If it's scabies, revolution spot-on works very well.
