In my state, any place that sells oil is required to accept used oil. As for me, I have a relationship with a truck garage in the next town. They heat the shop with a waste oil furnace, so they’re happy to get my waste oil.

At least OP is better than the poster who checked his dipstick and it didn't show a drop of oil. And then asked why?
OP Don't take us too seriously. We're here to help.

YEP. First post COMPLAINT.

To the OP - Like others said, Fluid change and service are 2 different things.
If you can't or don't want to do it, you have to pay, and if you agree to the price there is no valid bitch.
Tools, Meters, Manuals, Jacks, Lifts, and Sweat are priceless. Me doing it for you $$$

Put it back in the bottles the new oil came in & bring it to the auto parts store.

Yes, on a service they look at your belt, put too much air in the tires and peak at the air filter, for only 250 bucks more...

Just changed my oil 3 days ago. Here's the total cost for me:

HD oil filter - $15

4 qts. Mobil One V-Twin - less than $5 from Meijer store with my wife's coupons! Yep! Less than $5. Used to hate her coupon saving, but no more!

1 qt. Formula + - $9 from dealer

1 qt. Mobil One gear lube 75w 90 from Autozone - $10

Total ........$39 and about 1/2 hour of my time.

BTW, any auto parts chain store will take your old oil for free.
