๐Ÿ“ˆ Whatโ€™s Driving Used Motor Oil Prices in 2025?

Global markets are shifting fast, and used oil โ€” once considered a disposal problem โ€” is now a valuable resource.

Key drivers include:

  • ๐Ÿ” Growth in re-refining technology (base oil recovery)
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Increasing use in fuel blending for industrial kilns and furnaces
  • ๐ŸŒฑ Rising environmental incentives to reuse, not discard
  • ๐Ÿ“‰ Decline in virgin base oil affordability

Countries like India, Nigeria, and Colombia are importing more used engine oil than ever โ€” not to burn waste, but to power industries.

๐Ÿงช What Affects Used Oil Pricing?

Key pricing variables include:

  • Water Content: Higher water lowers fuel value, increases cost of filtration
  • Sludge/Metals: Contamination reduces reuse efficiency
  • Flash Point: Affects transport class and usability as fuel
  • Export-Ready Packaging: Flexitanks vs. drums impact container load cost
  • COA/SDS Documentation: Adds legitimacy for customs, but also prep cost

At Cavin Resource, all our oil is tested in-house and includes COA + MSDS.
