When used engine oil is exported from workshops, ports, or recycling hubs, what happens next? Most bulk buyers use it for two very different purposes: re-refining or fuel recycling. But the processes, risks, and returns are very different.
At Cavin Resource, we work with buyers across Africa, Asia, and LATAM โ helping them secure clean, filtered used oil with lab reports and COA, suitable for both reprocessing paths. Hereโs how the two options compare.

โป๏ธ What Is Re-refining of Used Engine Oil?
Re-refining is the process of removing contaminants (water, fuel, metals, carbon) from used oil to recover a usable base oil.
Common uses after re-refining:
- โ๏ธ Manufacturing new lubricants
- ๐ Blending into fresh engine or gear oils
- ๐งช Base stock for oil manufacturers
๐งช This process requires oil with low moisture, low ash, and consistent flash point. Cavin Resource provides lab-tested batches ideal for re-refining.
๐ฅ What Is Waste Oil Recycling for Fuel Use?
In this case, the oil is filtered but not chemically broken down โ it is used directly as combustion fuel for:
- ๐ฅ Cement kilns
- ๐ญ Industrial boilers and furnaces
- ๐ Energy generation (heat or electrical)
๐ก Buyers in Nigeria, Vietnam, and Peru often use 20,000L flexitank shipments of filtered oil for this purpose. See our bulk pricing forecast for typical regional rates.
