Burnt motor oil from oil changes on my better cars I pour back into the empty bottles and reuse for topping off oil in my '88 Escort that uses/leaks a quart about every 1000 miles. Less expensive and saves new resources. Also gives me the best of both worlds, I'm able to keep fresh clean oil (3-5K mile change interval) in my best cars but not waste new oil in a car that's just going to leak/burn it quickly. I've been doing this for about the last 200K miles and the old Escort just keeps on running even with 514K miles.
