disposing of used engine oil.

Sounds like the same type of soil for sure....and if Gilley's was not that far, I know about where you were working but Gilley's still would be a long walk from any place along the ship channel. They have been gone for a very long time and the building was torn down many years ago. So much for Pasadena keeping a popular land mark. I went there one time and barely made it in 10 steps and left lol. Yup, lots of people went to jail from there....

I have a self oil changing car. You know that oil streak you see down the center of the lane, that's my car. No need to change the oil, just keep adding as needed.

Had a 82 f150 I bought with 120k on it . Straight 6 300, leaked a qt from the rear seal for a tank when I got it . Sold it with 300k for same price I paid for it and it had no rust underneath despite living in Galveston TX for 10 years then coastal FLA for another 5. Still leaked 1 qt for a tank of gas too.

Not quite sure what "gumbo dirt" is, but it makes me think of my property here in South Louisiana. There is so much clay in my soil that during the rainy, cold (for the South) weeks of winter my yard never dries out! No place for the water to go.

I too live in Southern Louisiana. I am about 200 miles east of Cranky, same latitude. Did you ever notice that in the summer when it really gets dry how the soil pulls away from your slab and side walks. I have seen cracks 1 and 1/2 wide 6-8 deep. But it raises the sugar cane.

Pour mine into the local recycling station tank at the county dump. I assume they do something with it that makes sense.

I had a car like that. I changed the filter every 3 thousand miles and called it an oil change .

I had a 59 Chevy pickup that used so much I used recycled oil in it from a friend garage.
He stored used oil in gallon jugs and set it behind his shop for anyone that wanted it. Once the impurities settled to the bottom some of it did not even look all that bad.

When I was growing up in the Ohio River Valley in the mid 60's we had a string of gas stations called "Working Man's Friend". They sold gas a couple of cents cheaper than the regular stations. The didn't even sell hi-test. But the sold used (motor) oil in glass quart jars, like milk bottles for people that needed a quart of oil per tank full. I may have been one of those guys. The oil was ten cents a bottle. It was used oil strained thru something. Smelled like hell. Wasn't called any certain weight.
You could also get a dish towel with a fill-up sometimes.
