Uses for old oil?
 

I'm about to change the oil on my bike & was wondering what use I can put to the old stuff, seems wrong just to chuck it.

I've seen people mention that they'll use it in their chain oilers & I'm sure I remember a bit in fight club where they said it could be used for fertilising plants?

So what do you do with yours?

ready to be proved wrong, but I'm pretty sure all it would do to your garden is kill everything!

You could always use it as heating fuel...

my farther has most of mine for bonfires,it can also be used on garden sheds and fences instead of creosote the blacker the better.and i have used it in a chainsaw for chain lube(chain saw oil can be as much as £17 for 5 liters)

You can use it in your chainsaw, but you have to cut a lot of wood to use it all up! It also makes a right mess of your trousers as engine oil isn't as sticky as the proper stuff, just like using it on your bike chain......
