Recycling used motorcycle oil

Here at Castrol, we are committed to looking after the environment by recycling used motor oil to the fullest extent. That's why Castrol group companies are now working on ways to ensure that every ounce of used motorcycle oil is recycled, re-refined and re-used, as you'll discover at www.nexcel.co.uk

But we can only look after the environment if every valued Castrol customer plays their part by disposing of used engine oil responsibly. The easiest way to do this is to put it into the container your new oil came in, and return it to the retailer you bought it from, or take it to the nearest auto workshop.

Alternatively, take your used motorcycle engine oil and its filter to your nearest recycling location, which you'll find using the United States Environmental Protection Agency website.
