Yesterday we went to the Phoenix (Tolleson) Speedco/loves. Used to always go to Speedco before they joined with Loves. We were there about 10 am and they told us it would be a couple hours. We decided not to wait and went on to Scottsdale where we were headed. At 8pm last night they called and were ready for us!! Next week will be back in Yuma so I guess we’ll try and find a mobile guy to come do the oil change. What do all you guys do for oil changes??

IMHO, getting rid of 45 quarts of oil isn't worth the hassle of doing it myself. Draining it one gallon at a time isn't either. I use the SpeedCo in Eloy and have been doing so for the past 15 years. They get you in and out without hassle. Might have to wait for one or two semis but that's it. This simply could have been an off day for this facility.....Dennis

Let me see if I can stand under what your saying; You got to a shop for service, (nothing said about appointment?) was told you would need to wait your turn, but did not. Then when shop finished with the people that waited they called to let you know, and you think the service is bad enough to go elsewhere?

When you buy the oil, ask to carry home in a couple of cases. Take bottles out, line them with trash bags. Put 1 box on a sheet of cardboard under drain plug. Drain until box is 3/4 full, put plug back in. Catch oil that comes out while changing filter in 2nd box, then put it under plug, finish draining. The cardboard under boxes make it EZ to slide them out. Using paper filter and cup, transfer the used oil into the bottles, put bottles back in box, (with trash bag still in place) and take to recyclers.

I use an old Rubbermade storage container that will fit under the oil pan with the coach up on my homemade 2X12 ramps. I line it with two HD black trash bags. Have yet to get the container oily.
Use an old coffee can and funnel to pour used oil back into the gallon jugs which go back in the cardboard box they came in.
Lots of places recycle oil. Very likely your city's vehicle maintenance department has no problem accepting any volume you choose to drop off.
