Disposing used engine oil

[ideoteque85]

I was wondering whether there is such regulation in Malaysia that you cannot dispose a used oil just anywhere? Im trying to learn how to DIY the basic servicing things for my ride and I need to know where to dump the oil since I am gonna DIY at home. Thanks

Most mech garage or workshops accept use oils since there will be an oil recycler company that will do rounds collecting used oil from workshops and pays the workshop as well for the used oil if i'm not mistaken.

Used engine oil is one of the scheduled waste under ISO14001, so kalau buang merata-rata is a big no no.

I would use the used oil to lubricate my bicycle chain, etc.

haha earth hour. memang terbaik la. I am trying to depend less on the mechanics as I always question their honesty every time I visit their place.

i asked a couple of my mech before who do they sell the used oil to, they say they are ppl who come by to buy it from them. Supposedly for fuel for burning charcoal and brick.. Not sure how true it is. Then again, technically the oil can be processed again to make bitumen...
