Is it safe to burn used car oil?

I changed the oil in my Jeep a while ago and am about to make a big fire. Would it be safe to bun the oil? Is it excessively bad for the environment?Is it safe to burn used car oil?
Many garages that accept used oil use it to help heat the garage in the winter. It is burned in a waste oil furnace.





If burned on a brush or debris pile, it will smoke a lot, may soak into the ground if not totally burned, and may be against the terms on your burn permit.





You're better off to take it to a garage for disposal.Is it safe to burn used car oil?
It's actually fine to burn the used oil. You can search the internet and find companies that make ';used oil burners'; for heating purposes.





It does smell bad when it burns, and it will smoke a bunch, but that's about the worst of it. and as with ANY smoke ... you don't want to breathe it.
Bad for the environment and probably toxic to you. Take the used oil to an auto parts store where they will dump it for you
not much different than burning coal.


I wonder where they dump it when they dispose of it. Do they store it in thousands of barrels indefinately? probably makes more sense to burn it.
Been there. Done that. not exactly the best choice for the environment though cause it smokes pretty good.
Please Please Recycle it at any auto store.
