yes but when brake fluid, tranny fluid, gear oil, etc is mixed into the used oil; they never know or care. It is only antifreeze that is the big "no-no".
Most of the above mentioned are accepted but it is funny how if they know you have tranny fluid they say they can't accept it when all it is is 10wt oil with red dye LOL. I used to be a parts guy so parts people who are stupid tend to especially annoy me.
I have been told that ATF additives would be the problem, not ATF itself.
However, it is another item that oil recyclers gladly take and convert into home heating oil.
