I've heard of an old trick where you pour some sand or sawdust in a barrel, add some used oil and then push your shovels, rakes, whatever into it over the winter to keep them from rusting.
I keep a quart or so around for this, just use an old paintbrush to coat the metal of the tools every time I use them. Keeps them nice and shiny. I think the sand was to clean them as well, but I wash them off and when they dry oil them.
I do have a trailer with a wood floor that, that's about to get treated. Thanks for that tip.

When I worked in a country garage we'd save it and dump it on the local dirt circuit track where I raced to keep the dust down. When I moved to the city I'd put the used oil in my V Dub Beetle where it would "go away" so to speak. My local council takes it for free for recycling, so that's where it goes now.

My wife had a Saturn like that once. It burned as much oil as it did gas.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!
