Well i do it at a shop, but im thinking it would be a lot cheaper to do it myself with synt oil.

I moved to the condo now so im thinking where i could possibly do it :/ any ideas ????

And where could i get rid of oil?

I'm a condo dweller too. Your best bet is a friends driveway/garage.

I've done it in my parking spot once but make sure there are no drips and everything is squeaky clean when you're done. Depends on your condo but some won't look too favourably on work being done although i've had no problems.

As for getting rid of old oil, I think many Jiffy Lubes and other places like that are still taking used oil in free for recycling. Try contacting one and see what they say.

Well friends driveway would be the best bet, but all of them are on a slope. And opening the oil bolt is always a hastle, I swear me and my mechanic had to hold on to the wrench and hang from it to open it lol so i think slope and that = suicide

Parking lot seems to be a god place, Do it on Sundays at the intersection of hensall st and queensway, those places warehouse looking places are dead at that time

And in regards to the disposal, i should give them a call and see.

Thanks bro Synthetic for the price of conventional! here i come
