I trust that they're disposing of it properly.

I stash my used oil in a 55 gallon drum and what I and the neighboors don't use to start brush fires with goes in jugs to the recycle drum at work or the recycle drum at Advance Auto Parts.

In your Maintenance book does it have a "cross" icon next to the 3750?
Thanks Rossn2, I had missed that footnote. However the 7500 'A' Schedule doesn't show both the "cross" and the "diamond" footnotes indicating both engines would be due an oil change at the 7500 mile mark, only the California engine. The book obviously is in error and should have included the
"diamond" footnote as-well for the 7500 mile service.
BTW, I too use a 55 gal drum to store my used oil, vertically, until I load it on my '85 Ram trash-hauler with the tractor, (after removing the tailgate). A faucet installed on one end of the barrel allows me to back next to the recycling center barrel and open the faucet.

Sorry, I was referring to the Schedule B 7500 maintenance which covers pretty much all drivers... Does your maintenance book have two sides? One side is for Schedule A and the other is Schedule B.

IF you use schedule A, then your first oil/filter change is 15k miles or 1 year...whichever comes first, atleast on the 04...is it the same on the 03?

I go to my local Wally World and deposit the oil. Your allowed 4 gallons per visit. If they do oil changes , they have a big recycling bin in the back in a seperate cage area.

Checker and Auto Zone will both take waste oil. They might have a maximum amount but it should be 4 or 5 gals.
