That’s odd.
All the classes we had to take for Hazmat training all said that virgin
oil(I.E. not used in any way) was classified as non hazardous.
I also know for a fact that we don't pay any hazardous shipping on any
of the other oils we deliver. The oil markup is so marginal that it is
absolutely profitless as it is, but obviously it is a must have item for
a auto
parts chain.

I tried to get oil from my loval oil supply and found the Haz shipping
to be
more than the cost of drug store mineral oil by twice.
