well all the answers are correct . But no one mentioned asphalt. About 50% of used oil is used for the making of asphalt. About 40% is used for energy(heat). And the left over is sold to companies that recycle oil. Americas Choice and Cam 2 are the 2 most popular ones that recycle.

Recycle it, or sell it to big companies that have heaters and equipment that actually use used oil to run machinery

They primarly use as heating oil , mostly repair shops do this but there are other uses but its never filtered and reused in cars.
