What
to
Do
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 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 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.
