    hey all, i am curious as to what places around the area (specifically wetsern suburbs) accept old fluides such as Motor oil, Gear Lube, ATF?

    i want to change my tranny fluid soon, but i dont want to be stuck with it either.

    Thanks

    Drink up?

    But seriously, most auto parts stores will take it for little/nothing.
    but they do like it more if you buy the oil there first.
    some places will only take 2 gallons per day, most want it in some form of gallon jug.
