Abstract:About 43 million U.S. residents report that they change their own oil. The majority (35 million) of people who change the motor oil in their own vehicles dispose of their used oil by taking it to a recycling center or gas or service station. However, approximately 5 percent of those who change their own oil (or 2.3 million people) report that they use disposal methods that could harm the environment, for example, pouring the oil down a drain, on the ground, or placing it in their garbage.
