Commercial collection for all types of used gear oil, manual and automatic: gearbox, transmission and differential oil from workshops, fleets, transport depots and industrial maintenance teams.
Workshops, fleets, transport depots and factories drain used gear oil from gearboxes, transmissions, differentials and industrial gear drives. Oil Savers collects used gear oil from 100 litres across Gauteng, with instant payment available for qualifying oil once the oil and terms are confirmed.
What we collect
All types of gear oil: manual and automatic gearbox and transmission oil.
Differential and axle oil from cars, trucks and buses.
Industrial gear oil from gear drives, conveyors and plant machinery.
What to tell us
Your estimated litres, and whether it’s in drums, IBCs or a tank.
Whether the gear oil is kept in its own drums, separate from engine oil.
Whether anything else has been mixed in, like water, coolant, solvents or fuel.
Storage tips
Use sealed drums or IBCs and keep the lids on so rain and rubbish stay out.
Keep gear oil away from coolant, brake fluid and solvents. Contamination affects whether payment applies.
Label the containers so our team can confirm the oil quickly on the day.
Documentation
Collection records and safe-disposal documentation can be supplied where applicable, which helps with fleet, ISO and environmental audits.
Can gear oil go in the same drum as engine oil? No. Gear oil is a clean oil with its own price, different from black (used motor) oil. Keep it in its own drums: mixing it with engine oil or any other oil lowers the price we can offer.
Do you pay for used gear oil? Instant payment is available for qualifying used gear oil once the oil and collection terms are confirmed. It depends on quality, contamination, volume and location.

A special thank you to Venita, who was very friendly, helpful and quick to respond to all my enquiries. She kept me informed throughout the process and made arranging the collection so easy.

Excellent service. Most speedy and efficient service, I have ever received. I called Oil Saver on 22/09/2026 to enquire about the collection of the used cooking oil and arrangements were made to have the used oil accessed and collection on 23/09/2026. Payment was also made to me immediately. I will most definitely be using them going forward and will highly recommend their services.
