That's called recycling, and it's a good thing for us all. Besides, in most States it is compulsory that they do so, and that they allow the general public to drop off their own oils for recycling as well.

The weight of the unit has absolutely nothing to do with its filtration capabilities. The filtering material itself weighs next to nothing. I have never heard of an exploding oil filter, either, so I doubt it causes a durability issue.


I'm not advocating Jiffy Lube by any means, but they are no better or worse than any other oil changing outfit. If you look around the Net you'll find that the gripes about places like Jiffy Lube have very little to do with their oil or filter quality, but with their service and customer service levels.
