Protecting the Environment General Used oils, coolant, and hydraulic fluids should be returned to the appropriate authority for recycling. Ensure that all waste fluid products are segregated and are not inter- mixed; this practice will increase the efficiency and viability of the re- cycling process. Ensure that the vehicle is regularly serviced to maintain peak effi- ciency. A correctly maintained vehi- cle will contribute to maximum fuel economy and a reduction in exhaust gas pollutants. The growing scarcity of the world's nat- ural resources and the escalating prob- lem of pollution pose serious threats to the environment.
In order to conserve resources and to minimize pollution it is recommended that the following prac- tices are adopted: Do not dispose of used oils, hydraulic fluids, or engine coolant in drains, sewers, water courses, or land-fill sites.
