Wrecked, so dashed to grab the lubricant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spoiled

'wrecked' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'dashed to grab the lubricant' is the wordplay.
'dashed' becomes 'sped' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to grab' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the lubricant' becomes 'oil' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sped' placed around 'oil' is 'SPOILED'.

'so' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spoiled that I've seen before include "Of child, excessively pampered" , "Ruined" , "Marred" , "Damaged, harmed" , "Rotten" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
