Hi All, Out here in CA (Sillycone Valley), Jiffy Lube will no longer accept used motor oil from drop offs (i.e. people who are just recycling their own waste oil). Brake fluid and anitfreeze contamination has become such an issue that very few establishments accept waste oil from a hobbyist any more in our area. Fortunately, there are a few establishments left in the area, who will accept waste oil in bulk, but they make me feel like I'm some sort of criminal on parole every time I make a dump (10 gallons at a time.... we have 7 VW's)! It is a sad commentary on just how an irresponsible minority of car owners have impacted the rest of us! Nur mein zwei Pfennig... Jon

I've heard that the chlorinated alcohols in nah. i said that the Jiffy Lube folks told me to go ahead and dump it all together in their big tank. what they do with it, i don't know. i thought it was a little peculiar, too ... oil, brake fluid, coolant all in the same muck. joel
