Right you are, DO NOT MIX oil w/ solvent here is info fr EPA and Australian EPA net sites: Mixing Used Oil and Hazardous Waste
In addition to EPA's used oil management standards, your business may be required to comply with federal and state hazardous waste regulations if your used oil becomes contaminated from mixing it with hazardous waste. If used oil is mixed with hazardous waste, it probably will have to be managed as a hazardous waste. Hazardous waste disposal is a lengthy, costly, and strict regulatory process. The only way to be sure your used oil does not become contaminated with hazardous waste is to store it separately from all solvents and chemicals and not to mix it with anything.

Products such as antifreeze and kerosene.

Oils that do not meet EPA's definition of used oil can still pose a threat to the environment when disposed of and could be subject to the RCRA regulations for hazardous waste management .“Waste Oil
Used Oil Into Waste Oil
Used oil that contains over 1,000 parts per million of total halogens is presumed to have been mixed with a listed hazardous waste unless otherwise demonstrated.
If used oil is mixed with fuels or solvents, used oil has now turned into waste oil which can be expensive to dispose of properly.
Labeling
” is regulated as a hazardous waste. If you determine an oil has been mixed with a solvent and has to be disposed of, then it should be labeled or marked as “Waste Oil” and no longer falls under the Used Oil Rule.
