Hi

Lob it in a car, or just dilute it with fresh petrol.

All the best

I've just been using it in things like the lawn mower, cars etc...

For some reason the car seems a lot more tolerant of knackered fuel then the bike.

Leave it in a bucket on a hot day and wait for it to evaporate... Rolling Eyes

Your local tip will have an oil disposal point.

Or ask the bike shop if they can take your old oil while your buying your new oil.

Works with batteries as well.

Recycle the old oil back into the ground so it becomes dinosaurs again. Smile

as for the petrol...... haven't they invented fire where you live yet??

One good, but older (so I'm not sure about the legality) use for old engine oil is to mix it with creosote (or the modern day fake stuff) and paint your fences with it... lasts years! Very Happy

The tip at Grangemouth takes old oil, just pour it in there.
I'm sure they have a pipe coming out the bottom of the tank going back into the refinery and them straight too Arny Clarks.
