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
properly 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.
Engine Oil (Diesel Engines)
It’s
a
good idea
to
check your engine oil level every time you get fuel. In
order
to
get an accurate reading, the
oil
must be warm and the vehicle must
be on level ground.
r
Turn off the engine
and give
the
oil
a
few
minutes to drain back
into the
oil
pan.
If
you
don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show the
actual level.
