Chaz,
When I lived overlooking the car park at a well known beauty spot I saw a some chaps with their car up on ramps doing an oil change while the wives & kids enjoyed a picnic and paddled in the river. Essentials for any Bank Holiday picnic = sandwiches, flask of tea, a tartan rug and a pair of Halfords car ramps

Love it! Except I wonder what they did with the old oil?

Probably along the lines of the passage in "Zen & The Art" where Pirsig describes taking his Honda to the back of a gravel parking lot & dropping the sump contents to do an oil change.

The late friend I bought my R100RT from casually mentioned in conversation that he put his used oil down the drain & had done so for decades. Seemed suprised that this was frowned upon & that recycling was a thing !
