Question

with gasoline? I think these days oil is too valuable to just throw away, can it be sold to recycle factory, if so, where?

Answer 1

Never reuse spent engine oil. The oil base never breaks down, however the additives such as antifoaming agents, viscosity ect. become depleted. Contact your parts store where you purchased the oil. They should tell you where you may safely dispose of it.

Answer 2

You are not going to be able to sell it. Some places make you pay them to take it. I would go to your auto parts store, most of them will take it for free. Used oil will not do you any good. The recycling process is really complicated, so there is no way you could even try to attempt it. Sorry.

Answer 3

Some chain-auto repair shops and chain-auto parts stores have recycling drums (i.e. Pep Boys, Autozone) for your convenience.

Many years ago in MotherEarth News there was an article about a guy that built his own mini-refinery solely for recycling used motor oil back into clean motor oil, but IIRC it didn't yield that much (like 2 quarts old to 1 quart 'new').
