tips for home mechanics
If you maintain your own family vehicles, here are some tips for changing and recycling oil:
Place a clean drip pan directly under the vehicle’s oil pan plug to collect as much of the used oil as possible and prevent spills.
Loosen and remove the old filter and drain off as much oil as possible out of the filter into your drip pan.
Pour the used oil into a clean, empty plastic container with a tight lid.
Locate your nearest used oil collection site and take your used oil there for recycling.
Used oil facts:
Used oil that has been poured into a storm or sewer drain, on the ground, or put in the landfill can contaminate underground streams and wells making them unsafe to use as drinking water.
Used oil from a single oil change can ruin a million gallons of fresh water.
To produce 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil, it takes 42 gallons of crude oil, but only one gallon of used oil.
