5-minute oil change is a lie. The car ahead of me has been in there for over half an hour. I cannot leave because there are cars behind me, blocking me in. I think this lady has seen more filters than an AC repairman.

Update: Car ahead of me took 50 minutes. I pulled into the bay and sat for 10 minutes. They did nothing and I finally left.

    What do you do with the used oil? When I was a kid my family would dump it in big barrels, then we’d bury them once they got full. Obviously not something I want to do now. But I’ve asked the oil change places around here and they charge a fee to take the used oil.

      If they sell oil they have to dispose of used oil. Never heard of anyobe charging a fee. They re refine it anyway

      Check auto parts stores, they should take it. However, they won’t take it if it’s contaminated with anything, like coolant. So instead I take it to my local dump, they have a place to dispose of oil and other fluids for free. Maybe that’s an option for you as well.
