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 — helping them secure clean, filtered used oil with lab reports and COA, suitable for both reprocessing paths. Here’s how the two options compare.

♻️ 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:
- ⚙️ Manufacturing new lubricants
- 🚛 Blending into fresh engine or gear oils
- 🧪 Base stock for oil manufacturers
🧪 This process requires oil with low moisture, low ash, and consistent flash point. Cavin Resource provides lab-tested batches ideal for re-refining.
🔥 What Is Waste Oil Recycling for Fuel Use?
In this case, the oil is filtered but not chemically broken down — it is used directly as combustion fuel for:
- 🔥 Cement kilns
- 🏭 Industrial boilers and furnaces
- 🔋 Energy generation (heat or electrical)
💡 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.
🧪 How Cavin Resource Prepares Used Oil for Both Markets
