There is such a "mysterious" category of people who are constantly buying used engine oil. They buy it both from individuals and from car services. Most of our fellow citizens have no idea why this is done and why you shouldn't have anything to do with such "guys".
In fact, buyers of used oil are not some mysterious guys, but the most outspoken swindlers and scammers. They buy old oil for one single and very specific purpose - to make money. And in a dishonest way. As you might have guessed, the comrades who buy the used oil are engaged in its further resale. Or, in any case, they are selling it to those who will then sell it to citizens. In any case, this does not relieve them of responsibility for fraud.
This "business" appeared in the 1990s. Traditionally, scammers become active by the beginning of the winter period, when prices for motor oil begin to rise for obvious reasons. The arrangement of the event is very simple. Waste oil is pumped into a special centrifuge and "squeezed out" so that it is clarified. After that, the grease is poured into barrels and bottles with beautiful labels of well-known brands.

Where can you find such oil? More often than not, scammers sell their wares in rural shops and along roadsides. An experienced motorist is well aware that such a lubricant has long lost all its useful properties. The additives burned out in it. Moreover, such "oil" can cause engine damage. Fortunately, today this scheme has almost outlived itself and is found only in the regions of the country, in the most remote corners.
