Nothing

I just go to the recycling/disposal facility, go to the oil tank and pour it in. Did so last Monday atleast, had a good 15 liters/4 gallons of engine oil, brake fluid, 22 year old petrol, spoiled diesel and whatnot in my collector

Nothing. My town has a recycle center for batteries and used oil.
>>
>2 oreillys, 1 autozone, 1 napa all within 1 mile of each other

Some of them say that they only take 4 containers so I just go to one after another lel. Usually don't have more than a few containers.
>>
>>17220302
This. Only problem I run into is that no one around here accepts radiator fluids for some reason. Have to drive into the cities to deal with it.
>>
Go to vatozone, oreileys, or another parts store and they should be able to recycle them

My city also has a hazardous waste disposal area open Friday and Saturday in the morning. I take my used antifreeze/coolant there, same with batteries, sometimes oil, brake fluid, paint, all sorts of stuff like that

the guys who run it are the hazmat team in the fire department and they're all really cool guys
>>
>>17220264

Simple really. Dump it away from home.
>>
>>17220264
Leave it behind oil a change place. They can't dispose of it improperly.
>>
>>17220264
Gonna see if one of my mechanics will take it. And the dead motorbike battery.
>>
Nothing, you can dispose of it at the parts store for free
>>
>>17220309
Then do you go all the way to the parts store to piss?

If you want some asshole to put your oil drain plug back on with a air wrench, neglect to tell you your suspension is about to fall off and then try to sell you a $30 that you don't fucking need.

Then yes by all means go to valvoline.

The neighbor recently tore the entire wall off his shed and it happens to be the wall facing my house so I get to see his ugly ass shitheap every time I look out the window. I return the favor by pouring my used oil back into the jug and throwing it into his shed. Little does he know that these mysterious bottles of 'Pennzoil Platinum' that pile up are filled with what can only be described as melted chocolate.
>>
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
I go into poor undesirable people's neighborhoods, and throw it in their storm drains, down sinks at open houses whenever I come across one (yes, I drive home, come back with my oil and dunk), on people's lawns, curbs, anywhere.
I am not paying.

i just let my oil burn off and then refill it. usually takes about 10-12k miles.

However much gas I use driving to the local VatoZone is what I pay. They have an used oil receptacle the size of a small dumpster and it's free to use.
>>
>>17220264
Nothing, county dump about 15 minutes from where I live has this big tank to dispose used motor oil, Same thing with just about every fluid you can have in your car. They also take a lot of other things too, most surprising to me is defective ammo and prescription pills. All of this is for free too.
>>
For free at pretty much any local store/mechanic.

The only thing that would probably happen is it would leak oil. As long as its the same viscosity you can mix it.
>>
>>17223497
Any given full synthetic that's actually rated to any industry standards will clean out a lot of the gunk left behind by conventional oils. You might get some leakage as the synthetic removes the gunk that was blocking leaks but that's its own problem that should be handled.

I pay council rates and local government takes oil for no fee at their waste disposal centres.

Take it to an auto parts store they usually take oil. Don't be a shitty person and dump it somewhere.

dont pay anything, usually just dump it down the drain or take it to the reserve where the river is and drain it out there

if everyone on the planet dumped their oil at the same time itd probably cause issues but the way i see it, its impossible for such a tiny amount to be bad for the environment. the stuff comes out of the ground anyway, what harm is being done by putting it back there?

That's if they even drain it properly and not just suck the oil out from the top.

Any auto parts store will take used oil for free if it isn't mixed with coolant or gasoline
>>
>>17223832
10,000 liters of water isn't that much, think about it - an olympic swimming pool has 2.5 megaliters and even that isn't a large volume of water.

and in 99 percent of cases, the water getting "contaminated" isnt safe to drink anyway.

The only response this deserves is a middle finger. Proceed to the rear and dump your oil. The cashier is free to call the cops.

I take it to my local gas station because it's free to do so. Kind of a nigger thing to do to pollute the precious, fresh groundwater that we have here, it's just going to cost a lot of tax payer money to get it sucked and disposed of, if you nigger it in the ground.

Gas stations and repair shops usually take it off you for free, also you can bring it to one of the many recycling centers around.

Nothing. I have a waste oil burner and I stockpile the oil (and other fluids) which I then use to heat my home during the winter. And yes, I burn brake fluid and coolant too
>>
>What do you pay to recycle/dispose of your oil /o/?

Use oil is valuable and recycling centers and auto stores in the US take it for free. Batteries as well. If you get a decent pile of batteries they can be worth scrapping but I'm lazy so I just give them and my scrap aluminum directly to the folks who run the recycling centers. You can legally do that and they all have large stashes at home.

Totally worth it since they know me and don't give a shit what I throw out so long as it's in a trash bag.
>>
>>17233197
The coolant doesn't actually burn but it vaporizes so that gets rid of it. Waste oil burners are wonderful things.

i just go to oreillys every time. it seems like they're the only competent store in my area. they let me walk into the employee area and dump my oil in the bin without me having to ask and they let me leave my batteries on one of the counters without having to say anything to anyone. its kinda nice. when i go to NAPA i have to tell them i want to recycle, then wait for a dude to come grab my pan, dump it, and bring it back. batteries i have to stand there holding the stupid thing in line while i wait for dipsydipshit to come out, confirm i have a dead battery/ask me if i want to test it to "be sure", then take it from me. i also like my oreillys cause its mostly run by oldfags and mostly only oldfags are in there shopping so i get a nice conversation in line or a compliment on my car when they look it up for parts.
