Yes, Advance Auto Parts does accept used motor oil for recycling at most of their store locations.
This is part of their commitment to environmental responsibility and making vehicle maintenance easier for DIYers.

What You Can Bring

• Used motor oil (from oil changes)
• Some locations may also accept:
  • Used oil filters
  • Transmission fluid
  • Gear oil

It’s best to bring the oil in a sealed, clean container—like the original oil bottle or a sturdy jug with a screw-on cap.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Limit per visit: Most stores have a 5-gallon limit per customer per day
• No mixing: Don’t mix oil with antifreeze, gas, or other fluids
• Not all locations accept filters or non-oil fluids, so it’s smart to call ahead if you have those

Final Thoughts

Yes, you can drop off used oil at most Advance Auto Parts stores for free.
It’s a convenient and eco-friendly way to dispose of old oil after a DIY oil change—just make sure it’s clean and untainted by other fluids.
