Someone mentioned people oing something similar to cars in the NE to
protect them from the road salts - spray used motor oil on the
underside of cars - inside rockers, etc to prevent rust - repeat evert
2-3 years depending on service -
I think such 'English undercoating', though messy, works

Used motor oil as a rust preventative?

There is something called Waxoil the Brits use on their old cars, not sure
if it is available here.
Yes, there was a thread about this a couple of years ago, I don't recall
all the wisdom about it.

VW uses some kind of waxy substance as an undercoating. At least my '91
Jetta had it, on really hot days it would seep out a little. No idea if
the dealers carry it for spot retouching...

It's perfectly safe to pour anti-freeze down the drain - it will dilute
microbes will break it down.

The antifreeze can be recycled, but it's also biodegradable and OK to
put into the sewer. Not so sure about a septic system, guess it would
be OK there too as long as you're not talking about huge quantities.
The municipal sewer offers far more dilution though.

Well it is biodegradeble to a point, the problem being the heavy metals
accumulated in it.
I dispose of the stuff at the local center, along with all the old oils.
This is the sort of thing I do every couple of years when there is a
collection of stuff.

We're cheap here in Michigan, in the winter we use sodium chloride by the ton.
I'm not sure what's in the dust
CaCl sucks moisture from the air, so it gets sorta damp and holds the
dust down, if my mind is not misremembering.

I am replacing the water pump on the truck, drained the Deathcool,
caught most of it. We live on the marsh, have a septic system, I am
thinking it probably wouldn't be a good idea to put it down the septic?
I can take it into town and pour it in a toilet to the sewer, or to the
auto parts
Call parts store, Autozone, etc.; best if they collect it.

Our local hazardous waste policy says you can pour it down the drain.
