Ahh the good ol' days. I remember when my dad would drive the car onto the lawn, open the plug and let her drain, then push the car back a few feet and fill the oil. hahah.. but yeah, they have a thing at the parts store to dump the oil in..or at a dump they usually have one as well.

 

Around here in MA, where ever you can buy the oil at, will let you turn the old oil in. Then they dispose of it.

 

I just pour all my old oil down the storm drain on hte street in front of my house :m_thumrig















hahahaha just kidding

 

took mine to pep boys last weekend. i called a couple of the local service stations first, none of them would take it. Pep boys was good about it though. no charge or anything.

 

super walmarts with the auto center will usually do it too

 

any establishment that sells oil is required under law to take used oil. The law was passed quite a while ago. When i worked at Napa we got a notice from Corportate telling us about the law. So wherever you buy your oil at take it there, they have to take the old stuff.

 

Yep to everything everyone said. Just about anywhere you can BUY oil should take your old oil for recycling. They usually just let you go into the back to a bigass tank and let you dump it in there. There are several places around here that do that... which reminds me.. I changed my oil last weekend and have like 5 quarts that need dumping.

if i buy some oil off ebay will any place that sells oil take my old stuff even though i didn't buy from them?

they should, besides, unless its' some offbrand oil, how many auto part stores are actually going to know that you didn't buy it from them. If your that concerned, just find out which auto part stores sell that brand.

 

how would they even know what kind of oil it is? Use one of those drain pans that seals up, and you just dump that in there.

here in the naasl ( naval air station lemoore ) we deal with so much hazmat oil/fuel etc....day gets done that youre covered up in so much of it that an hour of washing wont take it out...but whatever we do we make sure we waste it properly....lowest fines for a violation like leaving an oily rag goes to like 10000.....just f.y.i bout how strict some states are bout this stuff...and yeah i do miss the old ways but hey .....



QUOTE=03'tiburonz]Hey gotta Q: i think im in the right thread...ne way my dads all pissy becuase im not using my "life time oil changes" since they are only available at ever 5000 fuggin miles! Anyways he's freakin out about my doin it myself because "theres no were to put the old stuff" i told him pepboys or anyother auto store usually have oil disposal things outside the shop...what do yall do with yours?[/QUOTE]

 

around here pepboys and autozone only takes upto 6 quarts per person per visit. I don't want to walk in there once a week. I like to buy my supplies in bulk and dispose of it in the same way.

I have a 3 car garage/shop that regularly does oil for about 5 family cars. I have several 30 gallon drums that I fill up and then I have to pay a oil recycling company $150 to come and haul my oil away. This sucks but no one really wants your oil, thus the drop off limit. . . . .

 

The PepBoys by me tries to charge to recycle the oil. Screw them....I just leave it in milk juggs outside of one of the bey doors after they close. Bastards
