I was thinking of changing my oil at 3k miles to get rid of any metal residue from break-in.

Your waste removal company should also have a recycle collection center for used paint, oil etc.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was thinking of changing my oil at 3k miles to get rid of any metal residue from break-in. The DIY on renntech looks easy enough. Anyone (maybe Jim) know how one gets rid of waste oil in Oregon? Would it be too much hassle to DIY? Also, what should I expect to pay for the filter, gaskets and removal tool?
I can remember going to an AutoZone where I lived about a year ago and they but-head on the other side of the counter was being such an *** over taking the oil claiming that they have no more room even though they had a huge container out-back where there were other containters on the side waiting for disposal.... I simply said O.K. and they took my containers to the back myself.....
Chalked up for a min-wage bone-head.

I forget the size, but I have plastic ones for each of my cars I think I got at Napa. They are only a couple bucks. A band type will also work as will a bowl of Wheatees and firm grip.
Lee,
When I needed one I just drove up to autozone and asked 'em if I could try a couple of different sizes out. Took 2-3 right out to the parking lot and wiggled under the car. I recommend the end cap type - esp. if you're real **** and are going to torque it to just the right amount.

Look at the DYI section for the filter wrench size.
Don't forget the oil filter can be recycled as well. They crush it to get oil out. They also take tranny oil and
Your waste removal company should also have a recycle collection center for used paint, oil etc.
I just grabbed a band type that does 2 1/4 to 3 1/4 inches. Not too **** about oil filter torque, I've done many. I just got a band type that does 2 1/4 to 3 1/4 inches. Went to GI Joe's in LO and grabbed a waste container too and (sorry JimPDX) they do not have Mobil 10-40 or 0-40. Went back to Sunset and had a long discussion about viscosities, since they insisted on 0-40 and my manual says 10-40. I got a copy of a bulletin that says the factory fill is 0-40 since sometime in '03, so I bought 10Q at Sunset. I guess I'm ready to go now..
