local auto parts stores and garages take it, but it can be sold, as much as a $1.00 a gallon

Here's one good use. Mix with a quarter of it's volume of creosote wood preserver and paint onto timber fences. Repeat every few years. Cheaper than paint and works nearly as well.
Otherwise recycle it.
Some garage and glasshouse heaters will burn a mixture of Diesel fuel and used motor oil but you need a lot of oil to make it worthwhile.

tell me you have not performed 25,000 miles without an oil-replace! once you've had oil differences performed earlier, i'd not imagine that's invaluable to flush that engine. I pour a touch sparkling less expensive oil through even as the clear out is off and the sump has in simple terms drained - this makes particular that there is not any previous oil in the sump. fairly than using flushing oils, if i purchase an older automobile with a intense-mileage engine on it, i purchase 2 filters, and a can of inexpensive oil, and do a clear out replace and supplies you it less expensive oil for 2 weeks, then replace oil and clear out for the best things. i don't have problems with previous engines and intense mileages!

I just refill the bottle the new oil came from and take it to the auto parts store. Not worth my time and effort to save and store oil until it's worth enough to sell. Better to give it to the auto place when it's on your way around town and be done with it.

I used to place it in my trash bin. Now I know auto part stores do collect used oil, so I just bring it back to the store. Help save our environment.

We have two 300 gallon barrels that we put all our used oil and transmission fluid in. When they are full we call Necessary Oil and they come and pick it up. Sorry to say but we don't get paid for it, we actually have to pay them.
