« on: October 25, 2013, 05:43:38 PM »
I like to consider myself to be somewhat environmentally aware---so what should I do with my old oil after an oil change?

The auto parts stores have a company that comes by and buys it for recycling.
In Arkansas, any store that sells oil retail, must accept waste oil for recycling.

scoot safely,

Recycle and re-refining... Used oil as is can be used as fuels for heaters, boilers, etc.  or it can be re-refined... remove dirt, impurities, water, etc... add new additives and sell to the public as new oil again...
