the chart at the above link will give you the btu's of various fuels, waste motor oil can be thought of as number 3 fuel oil. Number 5 and 6 fuel oils are bunker fuels and when cold are more like cold molasses then oil so have to be heated. #4 fuel I never had any dealings with.
like has been said oil has more BTU's but is it really worth the hassle of burning it, I don't have any problems doing it
