+1. Diff oil and shock oil is silicone which is fairly inert. Although it has been outlawed for use in certain cosmetic surgeries, even the bottle only states that consumption will cause digestive distress. Pretty much the same effect as overdoing some hot sauce. So in the trash it goes.

I pour it into a jar. The next time I remember to look at the jar all the crap has settled to the bottom and the fluid is clear and clean again ready to be used again. You can even pour it out of the jar and the dirty part at the bottom WILL NOT MOVE. my video is on you tube. Recycle shock oil

their are many, many, many non disposable products on the market. Used oil, even silicon shock oil, can be recycled. The broken suspension arm tossed in the garbage probably has the same effect on the environment as a non disposable SILICON shock oil. U can always use vegetable oil.... I'm sure their is a way to test it's viscosity and even thin it out if it's too thick.
About a 15 years ago there was a company pushing some biodegradable gun oil. And it was fine if you used it regularly for range days or plinking, and cleaned it every other day. But if you wanted it for long term storage, it would absolutely go rotten. It was terrible stuff! The smell was like someone dumping a gallon of dirty anti-freeze into your gun safe. It was horrific. Needless to say, that company doesnt exist anymore.

The Best way is to put it in a container then recycle it correctly. My local DPW has hazardous waste pickup at cub once year

I always wonder why, when somebody necros a thread like this, that has been dead since 2011, only to promote some YT video of his, everyone starts answering questions or quoting 10+ year old posts, and nobody seems to notice the date on these...
