Next comes recycling or disposing of your used motor oil. To recycle your used motor oil properly, you'll either want to take it to an oil change facility that accepts oil containers or to a household waste recycling facility near you. Whichever option you choose, it’s a good idea to call first to make sure that the facility will accept containers of used motor oil.
Recycling your used motor oil is a great way to help the environment. Your used motor oil can be cleaned and fully reused as a fuel oil. One gallon of used motor oil provides one gallon of fuel oil. With higher intensity processing, it can be re-refined back into lubricants. It’s not just the used motor oil from your car or truck that can be reused or re-refined. Used oil from motorcycles, boats, farm equipment and lawn mowers can be reused or re-refined as well.
