I Googled this image and found several comments, but two of them stand out.

1: Oil came from the ground, now we are putting it back.

2: USA. Unsurfaced Roads were sprayed with old oil to reduce dust.

I've seen that one before, I can't imagine that this approach would meet with glowing approval from the Environment Agency .....

In a previous house we lived in, our neighbour used to park his land rover over the road gully and drop the sump oil into the drain,!
Didn’t live there long thankfully.

Try living in the country where there is no main drainage and you have a septic tank. We are supposed to upgrade to a full-blown water treatment plant so water is purified and can be allowed to run into the streams, or in our case have a new well installed. Total cost in the region of £15,000. Rules are getting tighter and tighter wherever you look.

For most of my life I did my own oil changes. I found a few uses for the used product- Paint a wooden fence periodically Preserves the wood. When preparing fence posts, or any post (build a shed etc.) soak the lower part of the post in the oil before 'planting' it, Coating old machinery stored outside, and lighting bonfires! (I have mostly lived in rural areas.)
