Oil is recycled, they filter and clean it add more additives and sell it back to you, quality was never as good as fresh oil years ago dont know now, they may have improved.

I spent a little time at a re-refinery that processes used oil.
What they end up with is basically 2 grades of base oil, that end up going into blends, and the last little bit is like a tar, that is sold off to asphalt layers.

An old neighbour put up a new lap & cap 7 fence along the side of his house against a laneway.
He painted it with sump oil (from all the neighbours cars - including mine!) and it stopped the graffiti artists in their tracks.
