Where do you dispose the old oil?

Autozone will take it for free. On the burn pile or an old stump if you live in the woods…

I helped out at a local quick lube off and on for years when I could. Last time I went by, a 5 qt and filter synthetic blend was $39.99 and $4 each addition qt. The full synthetic was $64.99 up to 5 qts and $7.00 each additional qt. This is a bulk oil from a local distibutor. I’ve gotta say the state is pretty strict on testing them to make sure it is what they say. They go by twice a year and pull samples. Couple weeks later the report comes and each weight is 3-4 pages long. They do have conventional and synthetic brand bottle oils, but I dont keep up with them prices. They do all the normal quick lube steps. Check all fluids, top off if you want it, check air/cabin filters, change fuel filters. Add air to tires. You can be in and out in 15 mins max. They are known to be a honest local shop and dont pressure you into any upsales. Im still certified to do Louisiana inspection stickers there. I kinda miss talking with the ol heads that came by daily to grab a cup of coffee and shoot the shite.
