There are three treatment options:

• Re-refining to produce a new recycled oil, water and a residue.
• Laundering used to process oil of known composition, such as hydraulic oils and cutting oils; after treatment the oil is returned to the company that supplied it for reuse.
• Fuel production, which is the most common option and a much simpler process than either re-refining or laundering; it involves removing water and the solid contaminants collected during use.

Used oil filters can be crushed and recycled for their oil and metal components.
