Recycling ?

[Captain Howdy]

I drive a '02 Sentra SE-R SpecV witha an '03 transmission with 15k miles. I was thinking of swapping the stock stuff for the MTL-P from Speciality Formulations.

Anyway, the question is, is it o.k. to mix the old transmission fluid with the old oil that I turn in for recycling?

Thanks

BTW, how do you subcribe to a thread around here?

All lubes can be mixed. Don't mix in brake fluid, antifreeze, or fuel.

Most used oil gets sent to be burned for heating purposes.

I figured as much. I was slightly annoyed/amused that I had to sign a paper stating what brand of oil it was when I turned it in to Advance Auto.

It was a mixture of M1 and dino Pennzoil but I just put down M1.

Yeah, it's fine.

I work for a Environmental/Haz Waste company. A few times a year we do Household Hazardous waste collections, where people in the community bring haz waste to us to collect, and dispose.

I sometimes work the used oil collection. We put in used engine oil, gear oil, hydrualic oil, and even cooking oil like vegitable oils.

Some people bring in un-opened oil and antifreeze. Not sure why, but I keep that for myself,

I throw everything- gear oil, motor oil, ATF, and antifreeze into the 5 gallon jugs I take in for recycling. It's not a problem because the stuff gets filtered when it gets to wherever it ends up.

Good for you, I have visited a few friend's houses. They used to do their own oil change when young but after having kids they are too busy. So they have some 5 year old virgins oils that just sit on the shelf. Since they are no longer using them, it is dead weight and they decide to recycle them.

Got the antifreeze swapped at Speedlube yesterday. They mix the antifreeze and oil.
