Change your own oil

While i like the idea, im a one truck operation and have a hard time justifying a 4-7k peice of equipment thatll only run on my used oil for the year. (100 hrs tops if i run harder than i want to) i could eat that in a week in january easily if im home, so it doesnt quite seem worth it.

Am i wrong? I can give a few local shops the oil, but thats also somewhat of a pita. Are there any cheaper smaller waste-oil setups i dont know about that make sense for a small operation like mine?

 

You talking about getting rid of used oil?
Local advanced and auto zone take 5 gallon a day and a block from one another.

 

Yes getting rid of oil.

I just hate having to store it in jugs or pails to then load it in my pickup and take to a local mechanic thats got an oil burner, he'd take 100 gallons at a go even, but its just annoying and a bit outta my way, not to mention the pails get in my way in the shop.

Used oil burners are expensive (from what i see) and really cater to places that have 100+ gallons to burn a week.

 

That's why you've got an oil pressure gauge.

 

Yea but still wouldn't be fun if it happened. I was our other truck with tall rubber and someone in front of me smoked a deer on a 2 lane and I couldn't move over so I finished it off. Went under the truck dead center. If I was in the other truck with small rubber it probably would of broken the valve off if I had one

 

Off the Lone Pine exit. Look up Arcadia Natives

 

@Ridgeline Can you please suggest what GPM to get on low volume oil transfer pump? Looking to make setup like this.
