Default Changed the oil today...

Well, they better keep quiet about it. Used piston engine oil from
aircraft burning 100LL contains fairly large amount of lead (that's why
it looks green-ish). Burning it will release the lead into atmosphere
in the surrounding area.

Of course, Jay's oil should be free of such hazard due to his Atlas
burning autofuel :-)

Jay: What do you do with the used oil? Our FBO wouldn't take it because
they were concerned it might somehow be contaminated. Rather than
accumulate a drum of waste oil that I would need to get a hazmat permit to
get rid of, I have the mechanic do it.
