Disposing of used hydraulic oil

[jcummins]

Bought a Kubota M7040, and want to change both hydraulic filters and fluid.

I normally take my used oil to OReilly, and they will accept hydraulic oil, but their reporting process allows only 5 gallon at a time.

SO....I got a full 5 gallon of used motor oil that I need to take now. AND, I'll have 12 gallons of hydraulic oil in a few days. How to get rid of it, given these ridiculous bureaucratic used oil controls?

Tractor Supply here will take 10 gallons a day.

Buy youself a Tiki Torch or an old Highway flare and burn it.

They take 2 gallon at a pop.....worse than OReilly.

Wish you were in southern Oklahoma. I have a waste oil burning heater and no limits!

At their burn rate....I'd be refilling it 2-3 times a day......unless I had a king size torch of some kind.

HA...the best solution yet. How about moving to southern Illinois?

Around here AZ, Advanced, and O'Riley's are less than a mile apart and if I had to, I could split it up between them. Fortunately, they've never limited me!

That's where mine goes. There are two 55 gal barrels at the town recycle shed to dump it in, or just pour it back in the containers it came in and set them next to the barrels. The waste oil furnace owners love it.
