For 30 years I have been recycling my crankcase oil into the oil fired
home heating system. I know someone will tell me it can't work for a
dozen or more technical reasons, but it works fine for me. Think about
it, 1 gallon of clean well filtered oil into 100 to 500 gallons of fuel
oil 4-5 times a year. It also saves the price of a gallon of heating oil
for each automotive oil change. 

Getting all the information is most of the solution.

Mike,

It probably has a higher heat content than your usual heating oil. Just won't 
vaporize very
well by itself. Mixed like you have it it'll work just fine. You should 
collect what you can from
other members and neighbors. Save your self a few bucks and unclog the recyle 
loop a 
little.

This was a common practice in repair shops and may still be.

I did this for many years when I lived in the frozen wilderness of Ill-Annoy. 
Including oil from my Corvairs... Required content
