Buy filtered Oil

No matter where you reside, odds are there is a greaser nearby who will be willing to sell you some clean, filtered oil. If you can get it for $1/gal sweet! I wouldn’t pay more than $2 a gallon. Be sure to ask how they filter and if it has been tested for water.

How to find it?

  • Check Craigslist or post an ad.
  • Ask the local conversion shop for a referral.
  • Check online. Like this link: Fill up 4 Free

Join or start a community based filtering and collecting group, commonly called a WVO co-op and share skills and resources. Ok, you don’t have to call it a Co-op, you can say your are friends working under an agreement. Get creative, do trades offer something from your unique skill set and interests.

At one point I was filtering oil for 3 different people. I had a huge filtering setup in a shipping container. I had well over 1500 gallons of oil in the container. I didn’t like collecting oil and didn’t have many sources, but Two of them would bring me the dirty oil and I would filter it in exchange for half of the oil. One person gave me physical therapy for filtered oil.
