Considering the engine was burning 1 qt. per 800-1000 miles on it's own, it was not much different.  My city now offers used oil 
recycling so I now make use of that service instead of recycling it myself.  Some of the quicky oil changes places around these 
parts often have burners for their used oil or filters or whatever it is they burn.
