This came out of my mini after it stood for about 6 years!

I put it in the waste oil container at the tip!

That looks almost like you could use it as engine oil.

Hiya

I tried calling New Bradwell recylcling centre and there was no answer today. Anyway, I think I will do that. Actually, I checked my jerry can and there is only about 10 litres. I will mix it with the oil and dump it there. Petrol its made from oil anyway!

Also, the oil in the engine has been there for over two years, and so I will drain that and replace with fresh stuff before the engine is started again.

The engine still uses 4 star petrol, and I will be passing Buckingham soon (there is a garage there that sells 4-star) and will fill up when my jerry can is empty of all the crap petrol.
