Oil disposal?

Abborts Way BP at the back is a tank that you can tip the used oil. Just the oil not the case.

put the oil on the road, right after a set of traffic lights that just happens to be outside a plod station... and watch the boy racers get done for sustained loss of traction

Now we live in a throw away society.

I used to run my bikes on refined oil - it was so damn good it made the clutch slip,the bearing rollers to skid,and the oil seals to leak.To do all that it must have been better than synthetic.

Take it to most any service garage and ask them to dump it in their oil drains .. Most of them have it picked up and recycled ..
