How to Filter Oil Additives

Every car has to have its oil changed every three to five thousand miles. This can be an expensive addition to already expensive operating costs for drivers. If you want to cut down on your automotive bills, you can filter the additives from used oil in order to reuse the oil in your car. This is not a very hard task to perform. You can do it with just a few items found around the house.

Instructions

1

Put a 5-gallon bucket on top of a shelf. Place another 5 gallon bucket on the shelf below it.

2

Measure enough rope to reach from the bottom of the top bucket to the bottom of the bottom bucket. Cut the rope and then cut a hole with the same diameter of the rope in the bottom of the top bucket. Drill a hole in the shelf the same diameter of the rope so it can feed into the bottom bucket.

3

Feed the rope from the bottom of the top bucket down through the shelf and into the bottom bucket. Secure the rope to the top bucket with a staple or a nail.

4

Pour your old oil into the top of the bucket. As the oil seeps down the rope into the bottom bucket, the additives will stick to the rope, cleaning the oil in the process. Wrap the entire shelf in plastic sheeting to secure it from foreign objects.

5

Wait for 3-4 weeks for the oil to filtrate. Remove the sheeting and then pour the filter oil into the oil containers for storage. Mix the 3 parts filtered oil with 1 part new oil for use.
