[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1236371, member: 436"] l have done the Walmart parking lot oil change a few times. And I've changed my oil in other parking lots as well, such as an auto parts store. The important thing for me is to find a comfortable place in the parking lot, like under a shade tree, and out of the way of the store's normal activity. I always leave the spot clean and I always pour the old oil back into the containers the new oil came in and recycle it at the store. I have never seen a store that sells oil that does not also take the old stuff. I normally put the drain pan and funnel in the trash with the used paper towels. Easy peasy. Also, I normally change my oil and filter every five thousand miles. On a long trip I allow it to go as much as eight thousand miles. That is my maximum. Charlie Hoss and Thingfish changing oil at Walmart, somewhere near Sacramento, California. That's my FJR on the left: [IMG]https://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/gwaltersibm/DSCF0994_zpsdutk1i06.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
