thanx bro , is there a limit to what i can drop off?
I don't think so. Just walk in and hand them the oil in a milk container or something.
cool , thanx again
i got about 8 gallon jugs full , lol
If they say anything then make a few stops at different ones.
just make sure to not mix coolant & oil

Just reuse it. From what I understand, if you let old oil sit in a 2 gallon watering can. It has to sit for 2 weeks(at least). During this time, all the elements that make the oil old(carbon deposits, burnt gas soot, burnt coffee beans) will settle to the bottom of the can. After the 2 week period, or whenever you're about ready, take the oil and pour it into ice trays, pour clear colored food coloring in it, place a popsicle stick in it and set the trays in the freezer. During the freezing process, the clear food coloring molecules will overtake the discoloration of the oil and dull down the blackness of it. When frozen, take the trays out and, using the popsicle sticks, pull your "oil cubes" out and place them upright in a cat litter box with sand in it and place all in the sun. What will happen is the oil on a stick will melt in run down into the sand. Any leftover derivatives and excrements will also run down the stick, but will get stuck on the stick with any left over thickened oil, thus leaving the oil deposit free. Then filter the oil out of the sand(quickly since sand absorbs oil) and rinse the oil off with water. It has to be Wal-Mart's Mineral water as regualr water will harm the oil. Then pour your newly recycled and clean oil in your crankcase and enjoy never having to buy oil again. Later, QD.Originally Posted by TheScotsman

Wrong. You can bring it in whatever you want as long its oil and not a mixture of something. The limit I believe is about 20 gallons per person.Originally Posted by cactusEG

Any Superwalmart will work too, you can drop it off at the lube joint there. Dont believe there is a limit unless policy changed.

From when I worked at J-Lube, we were required to accept any kind of oil disposables that people brought us, based on our EPA regulations. I don't know if this holds true for ALL quick lube places, but it should. Also, make sure you let them know about the coolant/oil mixes, they may have a way to dispose of that. Our suck-truck had a special tank for that, since it has to be treated differently than old oil. The funny thing is, Kendall was the primary recipient of our suck-truck's pickups, and I always think about our waste oil coming out of the cars it did and going across the street to the Firestone there for their "Lowest Price in Town $14.99 Oil Change Special!"
Oops, I meant quarts, lol. thanks. and yeah I work at "the ZONE" too.Originally Posted by 99ExDriver

hrmm i didnt read any posts but here's my input. Shops, well most shops have a big as$ container where they dump their oil. Most of them will let you use it. how i know? the manager of this shop told me i can use it without a problem... just dont make a mess lol
I give out reps....
I was gonna say, I think they are required to accept your old oil. I guess to make sure no one ever dumps it somewhere stupid. Like into a hole in a tree in their backyard.....Or, thats what I heard.....Originally Posted by Kaiser
