He also said that synthetic won't work as well as dino...(higher flash point maybe?) And then he added the caveat that our cars are designed to run on #2 diesel and not concoctions of motor oil. I imagine he will chime in and repeat what he said. Chris

Most of them have waste-oil-fired heaters and (in winter anyway) burn off at least some of what they collect, and if not they probably sell the rest to a recycler. Their only concern would probably be that you don't bring them a bucket of goo containing oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and paint thinner. Call first, I guess. We're lucky in that our local waste management district has hazmat collection sites where residents can drop off their old oil, antifreeze, and other household chemicals. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
