What to Do with Used Oil

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 threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all
the oil from the filter before disposal. Never 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.
