Talking Re: Oil change made easy

On the east coast there is not a charge, think about it they are getting processed OIL for free. At $127 per 42 gallon barrel they have to process it and ship it, what a deal for them (3$ /gallon), Iam thinking of storing the old oil as I get over 20 gallons a year and they may begin to pay for it, if not there are Goldfire shop heaters that burn it for heat.

A thought on the suction oil extractor, If I were to use one I would park on a curb or incline to help puddle the oil on the side of the oil pan that is being suctioned; so that I could retrieve more or all of the old oil. On the lift with a warm engine I let it drain while doing other things to let all of it fall out.....just a thought

Enjoy, Woody
