Only Doug gives us: A friend from North Carolina says "awl" for oil
My Boot Camp company commander (the shell-shocked WWII Chief Gunner's Mate) pronounced it /OH-'ll/.
I did ribald as RYE-bald instead of ribbled. When I learned ribbled I back-formed the verb ribble. I also back-formed the verb misle pronounced /mizzle/ when the mispronunciation of misled occurred to me.
