The county has curbside waste oil pickup here in Boise. I have 5 quarts sitting out right now. The used stuff gets re-refined into base stock for lubricating oil - oil doesn't really wear out. The parts stores and quick lube joints probably sell it.
 
A deposit probably would keep a bunch of it out of the landfills.

"One problem I see with deposits on used oil, is the low-lives stealing oil from cars parked on the streets"
 
Not to mention all of the service bulletins created addressing excessive oil consumption and missing drain plugs...

2009 PRESSURE by ohbaobei
May 26, 2009 (4:37 pm)

folks, i have got CRV April 11th.
 
Last week, the tire pressure light is on and i checked manual and tires, found that there is one tire has very low pressure, only 25 psi. i have added air and the light went off. But after two days the light is on again and i checked the air pressure again, it is again 25 psi. So i decided to send the car to dealers and have them checked for me.
 
But it is my first new car and I have no experience to deal with dealer service. I have the manufacture warranty, so does it cover the tire? do i need to pay for this service. As I understand, i should be under factory warranty, am I right?

Your Dealer should offer to re-mount and re-balance the wheel at no cost to you. Dealers in general seem to have no appreciation for the value of other peoples' time. Tell them you cannot afford to keep returning to the Dealer to repair faults that should not have happened to a new vehicle, and you want them to fix the offending wheel immediately.

usually how often do you guys change oil? Do you follow the panel oil life or follow every 5000 (or 3000) miles?

Follow the Maintenance Minder and the code(s) it indicate ...
 
One to take note is change oil within 12 months if your mileage is low, not high enough to trigger the MM.

You've probably figured this out already.....
 
I have a 2008 CR-V (which replaced a 2000) and love it. I've occasionally heard a rattle in the car, but every time it turned out to be something like a pen on the center console, or my water bottle or my purse on the backseat - nothing wrong with the car itself, even though the noise may have echoed and sounded like it was coming from somewhere else. I just touch things until I find the place that stops the rattle. (And when it's my purse, which is the most elusive, I pull over to fix it because I can't stand that noise)

Right. While tire warranties are generally separate from the car manufacturer's warranty, your dealer will honor it. Assuming the problem is a defective tire or valve stem, your dealer will take care of the problem free of charge. But if the leak is caused by a nail, that's another matter.
