Default Waste Oil
I haven't changed my own oil since minutelube was invented. I refuse to pay $300.00 + for an oil change on my bike. What do you guys do with your waste oil, can't put it in the garbage like the old days?

Thanks in advance

I take my waste oil to an auto parts store that accepts oil for recycling or to an oil change center such as a MinuteLube. Most of these stores readily accept waste oil for recycling for free.

Whatever you do, don't throw it in garbage! Some localities will fine you for that.

Hope this helps.

If you live at the top of a hill, it's always fun to pour it down the gutter and watch the reaction of all your neighbors as they see the black gold running past their driveways.
