    For those of you that change your own oil, how do you dispose of the old oil? I was about to change mine and realized I can't just throw it in the ditch.

    I save used oil in 5 Liter containers, then take it to the nearest auto parts dealer (Kragen) for recycling. There is no charge. I keep the containers.

    Oil recycling places request there be no contaminants such as antifreeze or other liquids. Sometimes I am asked to fill out a form with name, address, zip code, quantity of oil recycled and brand of oil. Usually the auto parts folks just recycle the oil.

    I drain the oil out of the oil filter then put the filter in our local city recycling bin that is picked up once each week.

    Neat site!

    I take my oil to my local Advance Auto Parts. No hassle, just walk in, dump it in a big tank, and walk out. Looks like you've got quite a few of them in Albany as well as quite a few other options.
