BoReTec" transmission fluid, drained oil from motor oil filters, air compressor oil, and power steering oils can be mixed together. Parts cleaning solutions, oils contaminated with parts cleaning solution, brake fluid, antifreeze, gasoline, freon, oil sludge, skimmer oil, kitty litter, parts cleaner sludge, chiller, air conditioning, or refrigeration compressor oil should be stored separately. • All equipment used to remove the oil from motor pits must be marked with the words "Used Oil Tool — Empty After Each Use". This includes all pumps, the drum used to transfer the oil from the pit to the accumulation area, and the filter assembly. The tools must not be used to store oil; they should be emptied as soon as practical — no later than the end of the tour on which they are used. • If a container is used for accumulation of used oil: The used oil container must be a metal 55 -gallon bung -type drum in good condition and must be kept closed except when adding or removing used oil. The container must be compatible with oil (e.g., a container that previously held oil). 2. The label must contain the words "Used Oil. 3. Keep the container closed at all times except when filling or emptying. • The milkrun variance - applies to the used oil. Thus, a hazardous waste manifest is not required for the disposal of used oil. A receipt must be received and maintained for three years. USED OIL FILTERS Used oil filters are exempt from hazardous waste regulations ONLY if they are drained of free-flowing oil and recycled for their scrap metal value, and meet the following requirements: The filters must be drained of free-flowing used oil; this may take up to 12 hours by gravity feed. If the filter is equipped with a device (such as a rubber flap located just inside the filter opening) that impedes the drainage of oil from the filter, that device must be manipulated to allow the oil to exit the filter freely, or the filter must be punctured, crushed, opened, drained, or otherwise handled in a manner that will allow the oil to exit the filter. All drained oil collected from the oil filter should be added to the used oil waste container or tank. The drained filters must be accumulated, stored, and transferred in a rainproof container that is capable of containing any oil that may separate from the filters. Keep this container covered and closed at all times when not in use. During transfer, containers must be sealed so that when they are laid on their sides, no oil will leak out. The filters must be transported to a smelter or other scrap metal processor for recycling, or to a storage or consolidation facility that subsequently transfers them to such a recycler.
