Waking up to a puddle of oil under my car = bad.

I think I am going to start doing my oil changes myself cheaper and I can start using an ester synthetic, but where do you guys dispose the old oil?

All auto parts stores and shops that do oil changes are required by law to take your old oil and dispose of it for you for free. I have a 5 gallon gas can that I use to store old oil in to cut down on trips.

5 gallon bucket and lid is what I use. I'd use a jerry can if I could find one for cheap!

Autozone, O'Reilly's

Most of the places that sell car parts take oil and send it off for recycling.

The fire station in my little hick town where I grew up, would let you dump oil in this huge canister behind the building for recycling.
