Having a 12 second Honda is just like coming out of the closet; You're going to surprise a bunch of people, but in the end you're still gay.

Re: What to do with old motor oil??
Mechanical workshops have a facility where OilKol can collect it from it. I just take mine to the local workshop or Speedy. So far they do not have a problem receiving it.

I donate mine to a LR owner. It gets dispersed quickly over the public tarmac.

I drop mine off at the local workshop. They have no issues taking it. I believe they actually get paid per liter for it. If you can refine fish and chips oil surely used motor oil isn't such a stretch.

Re: What to do with old motor oil??
That's exactly what happens to it Johan. It gets recycled.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Engine oil refineries has been there sine I can remember.
I remember even in the little Free State town where I grew up was an Oilkol refinery, don't know if it still is there.

You can also Google "the rose foundation". They have drop off points all over and collect and recycle motor oil.
