take it to the local oil repair place (Jiffy Lube, etc). Ask if they can add it to their disposal oil.What can be done with used motor oil sitting around in my garage?
If you have a fence paneled garden mix half the oil with half fence paint . Then paint the panels with the mixture, it wont fade as quick as normal fence paint and its much more waterproof, i hope this helps.
recycling center
Any auto parts store will tell you where you can take it in your area.
You are supposed to return it for recycling. If your county does not have a waste oil recycling center; then you have to take it to a garage or service center, or any place that sells oil like a parts store.
call around to your local garages and


ask if they could use the oil

Pour it into small pump oil canisters and you can use it to oil things around the house such as door hinges, bicycle chains, and coleman camping lanterns.
