What to Do with Used Oil

Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don't let used oil stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil.
(See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and
disposal of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all
-
free flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don't
ever dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it
on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of
water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil. If you have a problem properly
disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a service
station or a local recycling center for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The air cleaner is on the driver's side of the
engine compartment.
