Found old 2stroke oil how to dispose of.

[oil pan 4]

Cleaning out my relatives shed I found some original SG oil from probably about 1987, some newer SL probably only about 20 years old and SM oil. I'm thinking lawn mower duty or use as bar and chain oil. Just in time for lawnmower oil change season and chainsawing season.
Also found packs of Stihl grey bottle oil. Probably burn up that grey bottle and old Walmart 2 stroke in my pickup truck unless anyone has any better ideas.

SG oil, sell on FB or ebay for a collector.

The SL would be superior for lawnmowers. Keep it.

The SM can be used for top offs.

Use the stihl grey bottles for fire starting or recycle it. Walmart oil depending on age might be better than the stihl ultra. You might get away with using it.

I pour old garage find oil like that in my oil bin and recycle it.

The 2-cycle oil I would mix a little into gas cans and burn it in my mower and generator. 1oz to 5 gal of gas (640:1) along with some Stabil works great to prevent corrosion in tanks and carbs all year and over the winter. OR, you could recycle it, too if you want to get rid of it faster. I wouldn't burn it in my vehicle.

I can throw it on ebay that's a good idea. I think it's still sealed.

It may not be cost effective to do so. I believe shipping most petroleum oils will incur a significant surcharge due to it being deemed a hazardous material for shipment. Perhaps Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace would be better if you can tolerate the nuisance shoppers and scammers.

I think it just has to be declared. I can order a single jug of oil for about what it costs to buy it in the store so it can't be very expensive.
I'll stop by the ups shipping hub and ask.

We have a "free stuff" group on facebook for each little town in my area, so people just take a picture of what they are giving away, and then either give their exact address or general location, and leave it at the end of the driveway. Useful stuff goes fast and garbage doesn't but its a way to give stuff away without a hassle. Someone with an old 2 stroke mower, chainsaw, or dirtbike or whatever could use unopened oil in something I'm sure.

For oil that you know is safe just list it as automotive parts / supplies. Do not list as "Oil / Fluids / Solvents". I receive specialty HVAC oils all the time and it is not declared.

If you know anyone who has a diesel, I think it should be fine to add to diesel fuel as a lubricant or additive. I had a 1989 6.2 Chevy Diesel and I would have definitely run it.

Found some API SA rated 40 weight.
Don't even know if I'd use that as bar and chain oil.

The really old ATF I found, mixed it with a a bottle of chainsaw bar and chain oil. Make it winter blend bar and chain oil.
The API SA rated straight 40 weight from dollar store, just dumped it in with my ND 30 weigh compressor oil.
Had some opened penzoil 10w-30 SL, SM and SN oils that I just dumped into one almost empty gallon penzoil 10w-30 container. Use as push mower oil or bar and chain oil.
Bottles, some opened, of probably straight 30 weight SH quaker state all with no labels except for one of them, just been using as chainsaw bar and chain oil.
The silver bottle stihl 2 stroke oil, just been adding a bottle to my truck when I fill it up.
Recently bought sealed up oils just go on the oil shelf use them for whatever.
