Motor oil picks up a variety of contaminants during its use that pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Oil is also a pollutant: it takes only one litre of oil to contaminate one million litres of water (which is about half the size of an Olympic swimming pool), and a single automotive oil change produces four to five litres of used oil. To look after our health and protect the environment, we need to recover and recycle as much used oil as possible.
