Thanks for the reply.

AFAIK, contaminated motor oil is not only non-recyclable, but it makes
the oil it's mixed with non-recyclable, too. By non-recyclable, I
don't mean to suggest that it might be refused at the filling station
(although there was one guy at a Jiffy Lube who would sniff used oil
before accepting it, may he rest in peace g), but that it will just
muck-(no pun)-up things up later.

Of course, I'm not saying that brake fluid tainted used motor oil is
"contaminated" -- perhaps brake fluid is a swell and recyclable
additive? -- but I'd prefer not to take the chance.

Cordially,
Richard Kanarek

I agree. Motor oil, in order to be properly recycled, should not be
contaminated with ANYTHING------especially gasoline or solvents. I keep
thinking of the hazards of using used oil for a furnace that has been so
contaminated. Could prove interesting!
