No, no,no.
First of all: Engine oil and especially used engine oil is not formulated to
combust in an ordinary diesel engine.
Secondly: Engine oil contains lots of additives to improve its properties,
but these are there to help the oil lubricate. Some of these additives
contain metals which are dangerous both from environmental and health point
of view and not in the least to the engine itself.
Third: A good base oil consists from long hydrocarbon chains, which are not
easily combusted. These chains may leave deposits inside the engine. These
deposits may be harmful to the function of the engine.
The best way of dealing with used engine oil, is to burn it in a burner for
high viscosity oils, and then handle the waste ashes in safe way , or just
recycle the oil by cleansing it.
