LinuxFan Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Yeah, it seems simple enough but I want to amybe get some additional info I was not aware of before. I know we don't pour it down the sewer drain, so that is a given. Other than that though, the only option is to take it to a oil change place and hope they take it, or save it for use in the lawn mower and other stuff. Whom do you take it to? What do you do with your old oil. thanks in advance... I must add, changing the oil and draining the transmission fluid on my 91 LS is a breeze. I do them both at 3k miles and it takes me no more than 15 minutes, now that I know what I am doing. It is nice.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 dump it at the nearest gas station that has the oil change service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Try contacting your waste management company. Here in my area, they will send out containers to put oil in for recycling. Also, check with some auto parts store. The chain called Kragen's here lets you bring in the oil to recycle. Sorry I can't give specific info for your area. Hopefully, this will get you started.

ihurley Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 You are in michigan right? Well here is a link to the PDF that has all the contact numbers listed by counties in Michigan for hazardous waste disposal. It also seems that Michigan has a very good pick up program and these numbers should get you that info. You might not have to lift a finger and they will come to you if you live in the right county.
