That should get rid of all the waste oil I create when I change my own oil changes. I have also been thinking about creating a filtering setup to clean the oil any major chunks and water just like I do with the wvo. I only filter it down to 10 microns and haven't plugged a filter yet. I use the goldenrod filters from TSC. I tried googling to see if any info on burning wmo (waste motor oil) existed and didn't find much. I have about 5 gallons to dispose of including a gallon of ATF. I have poured new ATF in the tank before. Maybe a quart with every wvo fillup.
