My question is, what do people that discards oil.
Is used oil to be recycled, or it is used to manufacture another goods?

A lot is recycled. Not sure what is done with the rest.

Used oil is re-refined into a number of products, including oil, •••••• fluid, and the stuff that can't be made back into oil is used to make either roofing shingles or road asphalt. The materials that are not of use are burned for beneficial energy recovery (fuels blending).
FWIW, if you buy oil in a generic container, you can bet that it is at least partially re-refined.
I find it of interest that folks are critical of re-refined oils. If you think about it, what difference is there between oil that has combustion by-products in it versus crude oil that has quite the primordial soup?
Peace,

cheap oil change places sell product that is a large percentage recycled...the drums they pump out of at Jiffy lube says 50% recycled oil by volume right on the side of it!
a friend of mine sells oil products for a living,he carries both chemical and mechanical lubricant test devices as part of his pony show. we have often sat around in my garage and "tested" all the bottles.
the plain jane generics do very poorly compared to the good stuff . both mobil 1 and lucas additive are really impresive doing as well as his most expensive compressor oils.
thats why I am willing to pay more and use them |

no way not even close!!!
it will not only kill grass within hours it will also cause the area to not support life for(even weeds) for a long long time.
ever see a dead strip across a golf green or fairway...thats what oil does when a piece of equipment blows an oil/hydraulic line
if that where true about the EPA why would they be out mandating oil recycling and giving $10000 fines to oil change places that dont clean and crush oil filters before disposal? |

one of the homework assignments was for "bob" and another cat to alter a billboard with a giant "did you know" statement to the above effect from the epa...it was the scene where they did the bird seed on the roof of the bmw dealership, the gas in the computer store, and the mags in the video store...a quick view but funny nontheless. i thought so, anyway...;)
and i guess i should say that under the "special tool" post with all the deja vu stuff my reference to a change in the matrix was the scene in the matrix where oddjob (or whatever the bald guy was called) turned on the others and they cahnged the exits from the building...!
;)
i was supposed to be climbing today, but all my friends bailed because of the weather...so all i have to do is watch movies and haze people on discoweb...just ignore me. i will go away...!

Used oil is made into various soups and stews for terrorists. Yummy stuff, and that's how we all support terrorists.

Don't forget used motor oil is used for treating seedy toe in horses and mange on dogs. Its also great for killing fire ants, they never come back to that spot after that. No I never used it on any horses or dogs, there was an old timer in one of the barns I was in who swore by it and told me about it almost daily.

Fight club has to be my favorite movie of all times. My wife thinks I am a whack.
My dad sed to dump moter oil behind the fence of our yard. Nothing grew there and there was always black mushy sludge. I wonder what ELF would think about that? Of ocurse I have learned about oil disposal and that is not the proper way to get rid of it. You must find a sewer drain and in the darkness of nite dump it there...much less mess and it just goes away. |

You should probably sue Society then. If you get just a $1 from everyone you'll be set.
I'll probably bolt it on and then have someone weld it and then paint it pink.

fact is you can even install an engine belt without fucking it up and taking some shit out, i'd hate to see you butcher that POS light bar onto the adventure rack and then have it break off whilst you are in the middle of beating the truck.
that's what i thought...

Ok flame boy. Let me quote an email from you dated 9/25/02
Quote:the one one the truck was replaced at 30k but all that
mud and shit made it look older. so i carried a
virgin spare, which i gave to you. it was not genuine.
seems you put the virgin one on and the truck hated
it.
keep the old one as a back up spare? never hurts to.
so yes you can blame this all on me
rd
Hmmmm....now you are back to blaming me for fucking up the install of a belt. Hmmm....I put the old one back on just the same as the replacement and it's been fine ever since. Hmmmm....yeah, must be me. LOL
So, barring me some how fucking up putting on 4 bolts, can you tell me why "someone else" would have this drop on the windsheild?
Yeah, didn't think so.
Maybe you could get one for your own rack!! Oh wait you don't.....

Rob Davison (Pokerob)
| | Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 11:51 am: |

i am counting on you fucking up the four bolts and then ramming it into tree branches assuming it can handle.

Why? We already know you don't like the look of it.
I think it will work just fine. Should get a chance to try it out this weekend and we'll see if it falls off.
And I was wrong, there were 8 bolts!! You should have seen me try to figure THAT out!! Whewww!!

Issac's just gealous cus all he got were Jate rings, which he now realizes you have to crawl UNDER the truck to get too. That, and the other day he realized he only has a Range Rover. DOH!!
