How to Make Grease From Recycled Motor Oil
by Lacy Enderson
Car grease is used to lubricate car parts so the vehicle runs better. It is a thick substance that covers and remains on objects effectively. Whereas a substance like oil is runny, and would flow right off a car part, grease is more like Vaseline: It stays put. If you don't have any car grease at home, there is a simple way to make your own.
Step 1
Scoop out 4 tbsp. of petroleum jelly with a plastic spoon and put it in a plastic bowl you won't mind throwing away later.
Step 2
Put an oil pan under your car and drain out 2 tbsp. of already-used motor oil.
Step 3
Add the recycled oil to the petroleum jelly and mix it with the plastic spoon until it is well-blended.
Step 4
Continue mixing the petroleum jelly with the recycled oil until the entire mixture is the color of the oil.
Tips
- As you are mixing the petroleum jelly with the recycled oil, the mixture will stick to the spoon in a glob. Wipe the spoon onto the side of the bowl occasionally to knock the mixture back into the bowl.
Things You'll Need
- Petroleum jelly (Vaseline)
- Recycled motor oil
- Plastic bowl
- Plastic spoon
Warnings
- Use a plastic spoon and bowl so you can throw them away when you are finished.
