It was surprisingly easy to get five gallons of used motor oil. When I mentioned my need at work, people were standing in line to give me their personal collections of used motor oil. You see, although the tree huggers have made oil recycling mandatory they have not provided any consistent and easy way for an average home mechanic to recycle oil. The old oil ends up being stored in home garages in any container available. Everyone saw my need as an opportunity to rid themselves of an on going problem. Note: the Service Station Owner's Association may well be in league with the tree huggers on this issue in order to increase their oil change business.

I get to Yak's. He hands me another Stoneys, takes my registration papers, a twenty-dollar bill and disappears. By the time I finish the beer Yak is back with the inspection sticker. Yak has a connection in the conspiracy. Yak didn't tell me his name and I didn't ask. The less known the better. We put the sticker on the windshield, I thank Yak and head home. I make it home without a problem and I still have three gallons of oil left in the can.
