Your best bet is any gas station where they (a) sell oil and coolant, and (b) do oil changes. If they do oil changes, that means they have a recycling pickup.

Put the used oil or coolant in throwaway containers (tightly sealed), and swing by and ask if they take used oil/coolant. Usually you can just leave it with them – or sometimes they’ll point you to the recycled oil drum where you’ll have to pour it in yourself.

If you swing by the boroughs, chain stores that sell oil like Strauss (in most boroughs other than Manhattan) take recycled liquids too…

I’m new to Manhattan, so does anyone know where I can recycle my old antifreeze and oil? I need to do some maintenance this weekend.

yeah they do run hot!

I made an edit to the number – I wrote 140, I meant 240… that’s the upper end of the operating range for most inline 4’s.

Some bikes run hot, like CBR’s. Even after a coolant change my normal temp when riding on the highway is 160 – 175. Now when I’m stuck in traffic it reaches 210- 220. You know you have a problem if you go above 230.
