Standard oil change. A 6 pint old milk carton (3.4 litres) was enough to hold all the oil (surprised me somewhat as manual says 3.6 litres for oil/filter change) but I guess I had spilt the balance when removing oil filter etc (the sight glass showed full before changing). All went smoothly until a nick mark in the bottle (last photograph) decided to start leaking and so I had to swap from the 6 pt carton to 2 x 4 pt cartons. Maybe of use if anybody else is contemplating an oil change. Cartons placed in the old brown washing bowl for safe transportation to the recycling facility. Anybody know what they use old oil for? Is it used for oil fired boilers? Recycled? Disposed of?
Known it used for oil fires and also I have known it used for home made oil type creosote for use on wood fencing a such cheaper than that water based shite from B&Q
I take my used oil back to the store, all the stores are required to accept used oil for recycling. I do keep a quart or two to use as bar oil on the chainsaw. No reason to use good oil just to sling around cutting firewood.
I use vegetable oil for chainsaw bar oil - would be worried about contamination using old engine oil.

Looking good, @OldNick. Nice and shiny. But isn't it funny how rain clouds magically materialize when we wash our vehicles? Coincidence? It seems to happen far too often for that to be the case.
