Heck, my A&P mechanic has a big barrel that he collects everyone's used oil
in. It's handy, and easy.

Ours has one of those as well

And someone *buys* it from him.


Sell it? He mixes it with fuel oil and it goes into his furnace.
There's a lot of BTUs in that oil!

IMO, THAT is true "ecology" -- not the government-mandated nonsense that
only encourages everyone to dump their used oil in the storm sewer.

There are also a lot of heavy metals and other nasty stuff
in used engine oil, it isn't good for your home heating or
cooking.

Most specifically for aircraft engines, the stuff is full of
lead. Most of the oil recyclers hear won't touch used oil
that comes from people burning leaded fuels.

Used oil works great to heat your garage or workshop. If your heater is
properly maintained there's no smoke or residue.

He heats the big hangar and blows the fumes outside.
