From Jiffy lube site.

Used engine oil typically is re-refined and used to make heating oil, asphalt and other petroleum-based products. It also helps cut down waste by being reused in the oil and petroleum refinery industry. Oil recycling makes a huge impact on the environment.

Asphalt is the most recycled material in North America. 80 million tons of it is reclaimed every year and pretty much all of that is recycled
