I only use it when I bag baits. Just drop 5-10 drops and the bag so the baits don't stick together ( I have make several thin tail baits) or dry out.  Also some people on here us it as a softener when cooking plastic but I have no experience in that.

I use worm oil to lightly rub onto a cold mold...or a mold with fine tails/legs to help with flow and get the mold to fill.

A good example is the spline on the Tube baits. Until the mold/spline gets hot enough you can get short shots on split tails...but a little worm oil and the fill really nice even on the first shot.

Worm oil also works good to rub off "permanent" marker of my small plastic boxes ...which I use instead of bags and mark what baits are in them.

I keep a small bowl with a little oil in the bottom handy for when I re-insert tail sections on baits like the Thump-Its. I use a tiny modeler's paintbrush to wipe both sides of the mold's tail cavities every ten shots or so. When the mold is closed the tail pieces slide right into the cavity on the side that they were not placed in and helps to prevent pinching. I also use it help in bagging baits.

I see guys are using worm oil to live their injectors when they get sticky. Is there any reason why I couldn't use my Hawg sauce?

Careful using scent. It may make your injector sticky. The tops of my scent bottles get sticky.
