Oil change intervals

How often should I change oil on my 1993 9000 CSE 2.0 LPT?
Words like "frequently" and "infrequently" doesn't tell very much.

How do you drive it? Mostly highway? Town? Mixed? Light or heavy foot?

Do you use synthetic and a high quality filter? Then I read you can go
10K miles.

I usually go about 5 to 6K miles on my turbos. I also try to keep the
short runs about town to the beater cars. The turbos are generally
driven on longer trips (60+ miles) with only one or two stops - heavy
foot though :-)­. I also use synthetics and Saab/Volvo oil filters. My
Volvo turbo is still going strong and it is a 1982. I suppose it also
depends on how long you want to keep your 9000 running. You can do alot
of synthetic oil changes for the price of a turbo charger.

Yes, never dump oil into the drains. You will be fined (UK) if it can be
traced back to your drains. It is also very anti social behaviour.

It's still definitely a no no. Waste oil can seep into the ground water and
pollute your drinking water.

Every council in the UK has collection centres for used engine oil. The oil
is either burned as fuel or recycled.

Actually I think it is a federal law (if not it is a New York State law)
requiring anyone who sells oil or car batteries to accept the same at no
cost. Used oil is then either sent for recycling or fuel blending and
burning. As for the car batteries, the lead in the battery actually makes it
worth something as scrap.

In Sweden I'm sure they'll recycle. Oil collection / recycling is also used here in>the UK. There are penalties for disposal in environmentally unfriendly ways.

I know that there are oil recycling facilities here, but it's not something
that gets publicised widely. After all, the trucks that rumble around
carting waste oil have to be picking it up from somewhere.

I think all Australian state and territory governments have their own
version of an EPA (Environmental Protection Authority as it's called here in
NSW) which enforces legislation for dumping waste products, including oils.
Might see if the local council landfill site accepts waste oils - would be a
sensible place to do it.

Regards,

Craig.

Didn't even think of that! Doh! 8-) Next time I visit the local autoparts
store I'll ask.

Here in the UK, I haven't seen oil collection at auto parts stores ( possibly
considered to be hazardous in case of an oil spill ? ) but they certainly take
your old batteries. The council depots take both though.

Erk ! Landfill ? That means the oil will eventually reach the water table unless the
site is situated in a very deep bed of impermeable clay !

Best thing to do is to recycle it.

Sure, but what about used coolant? I'm planning to drain/flush mine this
summer, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all the old green stuff.

Whatever you do, don't mix it with train oil. You can make an entire
tank of recyclable oil unusable if you do.

Oil is the least of your worries - there are far nastier things that can
leach out of landfill. All landfill sites (certainly in the UK) *have*
to be dug into impermeable ground.

Best thing to do is to recycle it.

Not really - recycling waste oil isn't an option. The energy cost of
cleaning it up would be huge. The only sensible thing to do with it is a
controlled high temperature incineration.
