Re: Run used oil

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not convinced I'm running such a risk. As for the reason, I live 40 miles from the nearest place that will take waste oil.

If you change oil on a regular schedule (3000-5000 miles), they you'll be changing maybe once a quarter, which amounts to one 5 gal bucket of waste oil. And you're saying you can't get by that recycle place once a quarter? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

When I weigh that "inconvenience" against the possible damage to a set of injectors, even the cost of running that 40 miles immediately after changing the oil makes sense to me.
