There has to be a YST.com member that has a garage/driveway and the oil change tools ::001::

Have done seven oil changes at Walmart on this trip. Takes about 10 minutes now.

Sounds good. Are you buying a drain pan each time? How do you dispose of your used oil?

Buy a alum. turkey roast pan. 97 cent funnel. Walmart takes back the used oil. Recently heard of service dept loaning a drain pan and funnel. I use Rotella T6 in gal jug. Drain oil and after filling pour used oil back in jug and recycle it at Walmart.

I've been there, done that at the WalMart too, (OR has BiMarts), but not every Walmart has an auto center. I walked across the parking lot and was able to recycle the oil at a quick lube place. I've been known to buy the bottle/drain pan unit and just leave it full of old oil at a trash can out front. Someone got a free oil drain pan for the effort of recycling the oil.

Years ago I changed oil at a Autozone in Paso Robles. At first they said they did not loan drain pans so I was going to buy one and leave it. The other person went to the back room and got me a drain pan and paper towels. I cleaned up their oil drain area. Good experience.
