<VV> 90 Degree Oil Filter Change

[Jim Houston]

I'm pretty sure that by Federal Law any place that changes oil (Jiffy Lube,
etc) HAS to take your old oil and dispose of it for you.  The one I used to
take mine to in Texas would even take 5 gal cans (I used to change oil on
light airplanes a lot)..
