What to

with Used Oil

Did you know that 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 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 putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into

sewers, or into streams

bodies of water. Instead,

recycle

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

local recycling

center for help.
