600+ million gallons of motor oil disposed of every year in the US with the help of 12,000 collection locations. I've got to imagine there are a few in Canada as well.


The Importance of Used Motor Oil Recycling


To keep your vehicle running at its best, change the motor oil and fluids according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. With regular maintenance comes a responsibility of knowing how and where to properly recycle used motor oil and associated vehicle fluids.

Nationally, there are more than 12,000 community-based used oil collection locations provided by either your local government or private businesses such as auto parts stores or service stations.

According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), more than 600 million gallons of motor oil is purchased each year. More than half of this amount – 345 million gallons to be exact – is purchased by the “do-it-yourself” vehicle owners.

As a DIY oil changer, you can have a positive impact on your vehicle and local environment by properly handling and recycling your used motor oil and vehicle fluids.
