I just take my used oil to a local repair shop. They have no problem with me dumping it in their tank. I'd bet most shops are the same way.
I used to take the car in for oil changes, but the $30 price combined with the usual 30-minute wait started to irritate me.
Plus I always had to supply them a filter because the Ford-specified Motorcraft filter for my car has a silicone anti-drainback valve, and do you think the filter that Jiffy-Lube uses has a silicone anti-drainback valve? So if I was going to Wal-Mart to buy the filter, why not just buy 6 quarts of oil along with it and take care of the problem myself?
I have no idea.... and I am not curious!
You know... I just don't think $30 is a high price to pay for $15 worth of oil and a $12 filter changed in 30 minutes while I keep my hands clean.
And 2J.... who I posted to, is a wacky enough chick that she might also really dig changing her own oil for the pure cathartic experience of it.... but it ain't for me. :~D
LOL Now you're just flattering me...
Hair's met me in person...she knows me well enough to know that I'm pretty determined when I put my mind to something.
