It's illegal in most of Europe to wash your car outside of special parking lots (usually at/near fuel stations) for good reason.

All that oil is a problem. Owning a car should not give you permission to pollute the environment.

Might as well water the flowers in the public park with used motor oil while you're at it. Dispensing oil is expensive and insisting on proper waste procedure clearly discriminates against poor people.
