Naturally I drain the oil out of refrigerator and freezer compressors before I cut them open to get the windings from the electric motor inside. Mostly I have put it into a 5 gallon bucket with a screw lid, and when it is about full I take it to the transfer station in town to dump it in the big oil recycling tank. Lately I have thought, I wonder if there is any other uses for this oil, and have come up with a few. Below is a few I use, please feel free to add your ideas. Might help folks get use out of the oil they remove.
Use as bar oil in a chain saw
"Paint" the wood floor on a flatbed trailer, help preserve the wood to keep it from cracking and drying so fast
"Paint" the wood on horse stalls to keep the horse from cribbing (tastes nasty to them)
Any other ideas???
