Changing the oil and filter on your car today is a lot more difficult than in the past.   For those of you that still enjoy the challenge, here are a few tips with regard to the environment

 

• Make sure the oil filter and oil drain pan are completely drained.
• Drain the filter for at least 12 hours to ensure all or most of the oil is drained from    the filter.  Filters should be taken to a recycling center.
• Store the used oil in a clean, rigid plastic container with a screw cap. Label the container “Used Oil”
• Do not mix other fluids, chemicals or any other materials with the used oil.
• Never dump used oil in the environment, and do not put used oil in the trash.
• Take the used oil to a professional service station for recycling.  Please bring the used oil during normal business hours. You will not be charged a fee.
• Be careful not to spill oil on the ground.  Cat litter can be used to absorb small spills.
