We have a few for you! If used motor oil is disposed of improperly it can pollute soil, ground water, rivers, and streams. Even if you pour it into a sealed container and toss it in the garbage, the oil can leak out over time and cause environmental damage.
Motor oil never really wears out. According to CalRecycle (California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery) used motor oil can be collected, cleaned, and reused. That process helps to conserve a natural resource - oil - and reduces the need to produce new oil.
Mountain View Tire is a State of California Certified Used Oil Collection Center. You can bring your used oil to any of our southern California locations for recycling. Just drain the oil into a clean container, making sure that it doesn't mix with any of your vehicle's other fluids, water, or any other liquid. If we can answer any questions about motor oil recycling, please give us a call at 1-877-688-4737.
