tips for home mechanics

If you maintain your own family vehicles, here are some tips for changing and recycling oil:

  • Place a clean drip pan directly under the vehicle’s oil pan plug to collect as much of the used oil as possible and prevent spills.

  • Loosen and remove the old filter and drain off as much oil as possible out of the filter into your drip pan.

  • Pour the used oil into a clean, empty plastic container with a tight lid.

  • Locate your nearest used oil collection site and take your used oil there for recycling.

Used oil facts:

  • Used oil that has been poured into a storm or sewer drain, on the ground, or put in the landfill can contaminate underground streams and wells making them unsafe to use as drinking water.

  • Used oil from a single oil change can ruin a million gallons of fresh water.

  • To produce 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil, it takes 42 gallons of crude oil, but only one gallon of used oil.
