Research Paper Thesis: Cars have been part of society for many

generations, and will always be used. The importance of a car is the maker behind them, and taking care of a car.

Two Facts: “It only takes one gallon of used motor oil to

pollute one million gallons of water.” “Improper disposal of used motor oil is illegal

and can result in fines up to $10,000.”
