Abstract
This invention relates to an apparatus for recycling oil that has been removed from a vehicle of some type such as an automobile or tractor. The invention has a container with an access lid for inserting the oil to be processed. A heater is provided to insure that the oil will be of a temperature that it will be properly processed. A filter system is included which is mounted on top of the container. A pump moves the oil from the bottom of the container to the bottom of the filter system. Pressure then forces the oil through the filter system to a pipe which moves the oil back to the container for another cycle. Oil is continuously recycled from the container, through the filter and back to the container for several hours until the oil is clear. It is then ready for removal and reuse.
