I had my car's oil changed today.
At the end, the technician held up my dirty, oily old oil filter and asked if I wanted it.
I just looked at him like he was kidding. He wasn't. Some ridiculous law says that he has to offer the old car parts to an owner who requests it. The oil change place accumulates the old filters until the car leaves the scene.
I can see an alternator or some other expensive part going back to the owner on request but a filter?
