But by the same token, I don't find it very reassuring that the public water works just doesn't give a damn about these sorts of products being flushed down the shitter. It's wonderful to think that I do a google-search and ADVrider pops up as the first answer.

If you want to go all Erin Brockovitch google up 40 CFR 264 and read some boring crap, or just put it in the shitcan and be done with it Here in Indiana where liberals are pretty scarce, and therefore so is envirronmental regulation, the local Solid Waste Management Districts do the tox-away thing. I would imagine that many of the counties in states that have eliminated the HHW exemption have a Tox-Away-Day type program where they either collect them throughout the year or have annaul collection days for you to drop them off. However, USEPA says that states may impose more stringent regulations than those published by the feds so YOUR state may regulate it that way, not all do, and most do not.Īs far as the kitty litter slurry, it can go into the trash as well under the HHW exemption, if not more stringently regulated by your state. I know not the most tree hugging hippy alternative but it's there. It all goes to a secondary refinery where it is processed and split into fractions, then sent to other refiners/blenders to be either returned to the production cycle, or if it's too heavy it'll go to a cement kiln for burner fuel.ĪZRamjet, there is an exemption in the federal hazardous waste regulations for "housesold hazardous waste" (HHW) which pretty much says that as long as it's coming from a homeowner it can go in the trash for disposal, no matter how hazardous/toxic it is. The short answer is if you want to recycle it mix it with the oil as stated above. I happen to work in the hazardous waste business (whoopie, I know) and get questions like this alot from clients and friends. Not a huge distance, but it really makes it my least visited parts store.Click to expand.There answere is there is no "THE" answer, but The closest Autozone is about 20 miles away. The closest parts stores to me are Oreiley's, NAPA, and advance. If it somehow worked as a dot 4 + and dot 4 LV, that would be insane! I'll have to remember to check if I ever stop at Autozone. Now I wonder what the viscosity actually comes out to. If it is true, it would probably be excellent for applications requiring super dot 4/dot4+ or whatever they want to call it. The Valvoline dot 3/4 does have a lower boiling point than the Autozone fluid (according to their website). I think the Valvoline Dot 3/4 has a lower boiling temp. Pentosin is about $14, but it looks like Castrol Dot 3/4 might also meet that spec and if that Autozone brake fluid is real, it would also seem like it'd work and it'd be much cheaper, it should really be labeled a Dot 3/4. They do call for a 2 year brake bleed as standard maintenance. In that case, it's a 509 boiling temp with a 319 wet boiling temp. Mercedes has some weird spec that calls for Dot 4 plus, not sure what the exact boiling point numbers should be, but people are using Pentosin Super Dot 4 which they claim meets the spec. However, I wont spend $15 a quart for brake fluid when I've never had problems with the $7 a quart stuff
Dot 3 brake fluid autozone plus#
Plus I really like metal cans for brake fluid. Also took a look at that Bosch brake fluid. If not, that's a terrific price for that level of boiling protection. Looking back at the autozone website, their 32oz of Autozone fluid has the same specs as the 12oz bottle. Claims 480F dry and 311F wet boiling points for only a little more than a 32oz bottle of standard DOT3. It's like $6 or $7 for a 32 oz bottle at Meijer. For a little added protection during spirited driving, I use Valvoline DOT3/4. Most standard DOT3 will work just fine for 99% of people. Regardless, unless you're tracking the car, using super high boiling point brake fluids is kinda pointless. I would need to go there and double check the bottle itself, sometimes they mix up stuff on the website. The bottles don't look entirely the same, and I doubt the Autozone "DOT3" actually has those specs.
