When we bought this house, there was an area that seems like they followed this advice, although they didn't dig a hole. Judging by the area that seemed to be affected, they ran a redneck Jiffy Lube for semi's and every car within a half-mile radius. That advice did seem to pan out - it did get absorbed into the ground. Maybe my kids will be able to put a well in after we pass away, and they'll be thousandaires with what they can pull out of the ground.

@zpaul @drewkaree I'm just old enough to remember doing this with my first cars in my grandfathers driveway. We got the old oil out and the change finished up, and I asked what do we do with this, pointing to the drain pan of the oil in the gravel. He took it, put it in one of those hand sprayers used for gardening, and started coating down the gravel driveway with it. Saying "Helps keep the dust down".

That was almost 30yrs ago, and we've since covered that old driveway in dirt/grass. Those two tracks where everyone drove in gravel and he sprayed oil heavily for decades before me......still show up when the grass doesn't grow well there.

I remember 40 years ago being taught that the biggest oil spill in the US is in peoples back yards.

You don't even want to know how many times I've seen us overflow the dirty oil donut while in port. We'd pump the bilge and dirty oil into this thing and it would never fail, we'd always overflow that sucker leaving a big oil slick on the water.
