on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and
water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
NOTE: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service
station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it down a drain or on the
