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 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.
