You can do alot >of synthetic oil changes for the price of a turbo charger. Very true. Changing fluids is cheap insurance for your car. Something nobody ever talks about though is what happens to waste oil? I don't think there is any 'standard' way to dispose of it, and most places don't seem to have any organised facility that handles waste oil products. Dumping it into the wastewater system is very harmful. Dumping in landfill (inside a closed container) via the regular trash/garbage/rubbish collection run by the local council or other authority is probably the closest thing possible to being a 'land-friendly' disposal option. Is there any sort of 'Saab-endorsed' way of dealing with waste oil products? 8-) Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Saab C900 Workshop -- For all Saab C900 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
