Question

What did you do with your used car oil, before you became environmentally aware?

Answer 1

reused it as bar and chain oil for my chainsaws

Answer 2

used to pour it in a bucket and use it to keep chains and things rust free then when the bucket filled I took it to the gas station where they took it from me for free. now I just use WD40 and do the same. I live 3 blocks from an oil change place, so it's easy to take it there after a change.

Answer 3

I used to put it in squeeze bottles and lube my chain on my bike and rusty hinges and just about anything that needed some lubrication and I still do it .

Answer 4

killed weeds

actually the best thing to do with your used oil and trans fluid now is to run it through a fuel filter and add it to your diecel fuel at a rate of 2 gallons oil to 10 gallons fuel you wont smoke more  it burns fine you get the same milage  and diecel is $4.50 a gallon

you save $8.00 per ten gallons  or close to $20 per fillup

and you can get the oil/auto trans fluid free
