what to do with this oil.

macafee2 · 29th November 2018, 14:35

I sold a motorbike and car this year. Both take different oil and both are different from what I use in the Rovers and wifes' Focus.

I have a number of part used new oil containers.
One of them I have had for..... 15 or more years as I used a different oil.
Get rid of them and I'll have loads a space.

Even filling a small 3 in 1 oil container it will take decades to use what I have

The thought of taking it to the tip and throwing it away makes me go weak at the knees at the thought of it, I guess this is how people become hoarders.

I'd mix it with creosote and paint wood work outside but that's a big environmental no no.

Take to the tip and get it recycled..

Ask a local garage if they have a waste oil heater, at this time of year they are always grateful of contributions.

Take it to the tip, they recycle it and it can be made into something useful.

Out of curiosity, how much of it have you got?
