A: No. Your used oil pickup receipts are obtained by us from your used oil hauler. Q: What is the claim based on and how frequently? A: The claim is 16 cents for every gallon of used oil collected from your facility and is filed quarterly by us. Q: What is the maximum amount of oil that a person can bring? A: You can set a limit where you may not accept more than 5 gallons from a person. Q: How does this affect my image as a new car dealer?
