re: How to Dispose of Your Used Motor Oil. Popular Mechanics Magazine, January 1963

If you only do it a couple of times a year the microbes will break it down before your next oil change. If you're running a mechanic shop out of your garage, different story.

You're supposed to change your oil?
I know you’re joking, but there are people, sadly even grown men who don’t understand this. One of my field reps called me just this past week saying he heard a “rattle” in his engine. I asked him how long it had been since he got his oil changed. His reply was “I’m about 5,000 miles past due”.
I shite you not. He said that.

My mother went about 20,000 miles between oil changes one time, and not synthetic oil. It looked like tar draining out. My dad kept track of the oil changes after that. She drove the car several more years and it never gave her any problems.

I can see a woman doing something like that. But this was a grown man with a wife and teenage boy who’ll be driving in a few months. What’s worse, it’s a company truck. He doesn’t even have to bother with paying for it and expensing it. All he has to do is call the office and get a PO.

When I was dating my wife, I drove her little SUV and it didn't seem to be running very well. I asked her when she'd last changed the oil and her reply was "never". She'd had it for almost 2 years.

Nature is perfectly capable of breaking down a lil oil, not that I advocate pouring it just anywhere but I don't sweat a little spill here or there.

Garbage can. At my house. Too lazy to drop it off at Walmart

Nah. The devil worshipers and Klan rallies were supposed to be on McHugh Rd. Our area had "Dead Man's Hill" and simply "The Canal". Ran behind the area near 39th St.
There was some pentagram graffiti and some dead cats behind church street park towards the canal in the mid 90’s era. Definitely some posers doing that Did not know anything about the McHugh rd area. That shite probably goes way way back

I mean, oil does come from the earth, right?

Brilliant. It becomes oil again for our successors.

And 2 idiots DV you because you have the audacity to say that a grown man should have enough sense to know that his company vehicle needs to have regular maintenance.

I was told it would go in the ground and kill the children of my children.

We had an old rotten stump in our backyard that we dumped oil in for years. Different times.

Don't they say a gallon of waste oil spoils a million gallons of ground water? I mean that's probably a lie if taken to that degree but it is still pollution.

All engines burn a little oil.
Those are simply designed to burn a little more than average.

I would empty the old oil in the catch pan into the empty new oil container. Then close it back tight and put in the trash to go to the Landfill.
Oops.
Oops.

My grandfather used to kill the weeds along his fence line with it.
My dumb 17 yo arse used to just dump it in the storm drain.
We’d both be under the jail today.
