Discard Mineral Car Oil Used

The best way is to filter it and add it to diesel fuel at 5% ratio in a tank. As long as it is a modern diesel it will not make much soot at all.

old diesels make soot from anything

You do not tell us where you are located. In most locals a recycling facility will accept used moter oil. Some times they are regenerated into "new oil" and resold. Other's use the oil as chain saw lube. In the Old Days used moter oil was put on road ways for dust control---- This is of course not done any more as the used oil is severly contaiminated with combustion byproducts including heavy metals, and other carcigens (?) really not good stuff! That is why recycling facilities deal with the oil. Please do the right thing and find the proper facility to deal with. if one does not exist maybe you could set up one for your area. Good Luck.

I live in US but my origin is from small village in India from a poor state. Till 2009 we counted how long power will stay and not gone. There was no reclaim facility and people dumped used oil out side as waste and for sure went in water stream.

I put money from my pocket and asked them to put in 55 gallon drum and with creative planning finally drum is safe and was able to collect used oil and then asked to transport them 32 miles to big city for recycling.

I can name place around the world which does not have recycling ability we are fortunate we live in society in which we have developed system to protect environments but we are by ignorance assume world is at same level

NRY used engine/car/motor oil recycling plant

Application

Tongrui NRY Used Oil Regeneration System is particularly suitable to regenerate used internal-combustion engine oil including diesel engine oil, gasoline engine oil and used hydraulic oil, other used machinery lubrication oil. NRY series are able to effectively remove colloid, oxid, acid, pitch, particles, impurities, water, gas in the used oil. Specially, NRY can restore the color of used oil and remove the scent rapidly.

Having read the advert with much interest I came to the conclusion that adding the "cleaned" oil to diesel (as suggested by Aurizon) would be the closest I would allow the stuff to my engine.

Oil companies spend a fortune developing additive packages for their oils. Additive depletion is one of the main reasons for changing oils in internal combustion engines, and this "mini refinery" does nothing to replenish them. It only "cleans" the oil, which is not good enough for a lubricant for my car engine.

Additive depletion is one of the main reasons for changing oils in internal combustion engines,

Additive depletion occurs but the greatest reason for changing motor oil is that it gets dirty, additives can be replentished but it is the dirt and acids that cause a change requirement.

I did say "one of".

Also, it depends on what you mean by dirt. Dirt "particles" that are large enough to do damage are removed by the filter. Particles that are too small for the filter and "dirt" such as the products of oxidation, sulphur/acids etc are held in suspension or otherwise neutralised by a good additive package, until depletion occurs. Then the oil becomes "dirty".

I agree, additives can be replenished, but how many of us know with what and with how much?

If you clean it and have no additives to replentish you still have a marketable product and one easier to sell than drain oil.

Drink it!!

There are oil fired furnaces that can handle that type of thing but it's an expensive way to solve a problem of a few gallons. What does the local repair shop do? Assuming there is a repair shop. Where did you get the new oil? Maybe they can take the old back? That's what I do.

This this good idea, this is that I am looking for, I have a car was where we change oil, Due to the fact, that I am living in Isla where there are not public or gubernamental facilities where we can disposal the used oil. I would like to install a facilities where the others bussines can send the used oil to be burned; of course, they should for for doing so. At this moment, the peoples who are running this bussines (change cars oil) are force by local autorities to take care about this mater.

Do you know wher can I get information related to the furnace?

Thanks in advance, best regards

There are a lot out there that might be closer to you. Google "furnaces that burn waste oil" and see what pops up.

There was (is?) a special filter system that runs parallel to the normal car filtration system and keeps even the fine dirt particles out of the oil. Naturally it cannot replenish the additives, but the oil remains looking like new and can of course be left in an engine far longer than normal......

The only other problem it cannot fix is that the oil will get "thinner" over time I remember, due to the polymer chains getting chopped up by mechanical movement of the engine parts....

What I do not have a clue about is how modern synthetic oils will react as the filter I saw demonstrated was many years ago before synthetics got on the market.....but as I can drive safely with my VW diesel motor well over 30,000 KM with the normal filter, it would probably mean that I could drive say over 100,000 KM with that special filter system....

Plus one should not forget that the extra filter system has about 4 liters of EXTRA oil in the system, for a 2 Liter engine, that means around twice the normal amount of oil anyway!! So maybe 100,000 is to few KMs, maybe 150,000 might be better.

With old mineral oil, the price was so low that an extra expensive filter was seldom warranted, but with the price of Long Life 3 Synthetic nowadays, maybe the filter system might be more attractive.

I was unable to find a link showing that the extra filter system is still available....

Equipment Update: The latest on bypass filtration
Why is controlling soot so important? One answer is found in Society of Automotive Engineer paper 2004-01-3014 by Brent Birch of Champion Laboratories, maker of Luber-finer bypass filters. "Soot is chemically active," Birch writes. "It likely absorbs zinc-based, anti-wear additives and competes with these additives for absorptive sites on wear surfaces, contributing an additional component wear factor." Soot eventually makes the oil abrasive, according to the paper
