Rid Your Car of Goopy Old Motor Oil

You can help Heal the Bay simply by getting your next oil change through the Ford Community Changes program. Ford donates the cost of your next oil change toward our work protecting local waters from dangerous toxins.

Here’s how it works: Bring in your car (any make or model — it doesn’t have to be a Ford) to one of four dealerships — Galpin (San Fernando Valley), Santa Monica, Sunrise (Greater Los Angeles and Inland Empire), Bob Wondries (San Gabriel Valley) and name your price. Whatever amount you choose to pay will go directly to Heal the Bay’s efforts to keep our waters safe, healthy and clean. Register now.

What you get is more than just an oil change. Your vehicle will be thoroughly inspected for leaks that may cause harm to our oceans and waterways, and your car. Motor oil is extremely toxic: A quart can contaminate up to 250,000 gallons of drinking water as it contains lead, magnesium, copper, zinc, chromium, arsenic, chlorides, cadmium and chlorinated compounds. Find out more. Heal the Bay encourages motorists to recycle their used motor oil and to NEVER pour it down the drain, in the gutter, or on the ground. Together, we’re changing more than oil — we’re changing Los Angeles.
