Used oil filter generators transporting their own used oil filters must ensure that used oil and used oil filters do not escape from the containers used during transport. Used oil filter generators must keep records of all shipments of used oil filters from their sites, including the date of the shipment, the quantity of used oil filters shipped, and the facility to which the used oil filters were delivered. These records must be kept at the site for at least three years after the date of shipment.
