    Store it in the fuel tank of your indirect injection diesel car (after filtering).

    Leave it in the drain pan until you take it to O'reillys to drop it of?

      How do I transport a pan full of oil to a shop with no lid? It will spill everywhere

      I put the used oil in the empty container of the new oil after I've filled the car back up. Collect a couple years worth of containers, drop them off at the local disposal place.

      How do you transfer the a pan full of oil to the empty containers? I have tried that before and I made a mess

        If you're too moronic to figure that out you probably shouldn't be messing with cars

        I have a pan just like this

        Pic related was like $15 and will hold 3 or 4 oil changes worth of used oil until I bring it to the Advance Auto. Otherwise you can use the empty containers from the oil you just dumped in your car.

        and 2 other ones.

        I'd imagine they use a funnel.

          Very slowly, its a pain in the ass. What I want to do is build some true block and drop the front on there so I can go straight from the oil pan into a 5 gallon bucket.

    I thought this was clever. use a laundry detergent jug or similar large plastic container, cut out the side to create a catch pan while you drain, then the spout makes it easy to dump the old oil back into the fresh oil jug that got dumped into the engine.

      This works well. I did this before being given a "proper" one. Prefer the spout on the laundry detergent tbh but low profile and a seal-able port made me switch.

    I use these animal cracker containers. I found that all those oil container and drain pan combos leak so I use a regular old tub when I drain the oil and then pour it into these containers. I think I'm going to switch to a 5 gallon home depot bucket though once I dump these out though.

      webp is fricking shit, just because google converts images to it doesn't mean "everyone is using it", make sure to click through to the actual website the image is hosted on before saving-as otherwise you'll just get a google cached webp every time.

    Pour the old oil into the container the new oil came in and toss it into the bed of some truck, now the dirty oil isn’t your problem anymore.

    Pro-tip: this is also a great solution for beer cans, throw your empties into the bed of that trash can on wheels and avoid an open container charge.

    Truck owners don’t mind as this trash adds authenticity to their blue collar larp.

    Best part of having a 4wd truck is I can just put the 5 gallon bucket right under the pan without jacking it up and drain right into it.

    I also drill a hole into my filter and let it drain before spinning it off.

    I take all my oil and throw it in the farmers crop across the field hoping it fricks his crop.

    I just pour it on the ground. I've also poured gasoline and coolant on the ground. I don't know why people make something so simple harder than it has to be.

    Does anyone here run an oil burner to heat their workshop? I've been thinking of doing that but I don't want the exhaust to be obnoxious. I like my neighbours.

      They burn very clean if they're designed properly. The problem is keeping up with oil.

        My shed is about 10x10m but my workshop is even smaller. Any estimates on how much oil it'd take to heat that area? It's either that or a small pot belly fire place but then I have to source wood to burn.

          You're better off with wood, you'll burn much more oil than you make if you don't maintain a fleet, and no shops are going to hand out used oil because of EPA red tape.

            Fair enough, wood is easier to come by.
            I have about 30L of used oil I was hoping to do something with. How many litres per hour would it use roughly? I'm only in my shed on the weekends.

            Not sure of consumption, I built mine a long time ago and never had enough oil to keep it going, so I put it outside and designated it as spider housing.
            30L might get you through one winter on a small unit, but my memory is pretty hazy on the real numbers.

    Buy 10 litre jug of water, drink water, fill the now empty container with used oil.
