Around here (western Washington State) those places are required to filter and
recycle their water!

How would the practice of cleaning the old oil off of your engine at the DIY
car wash differ from pouring your recently-changed oil down the storm water
drain? Seems to me, either way, it flows directly into your local stream or
river.

Get a few spray cans of GUNK (really, that's the name) and spray it on the
engine. Scrub it a bit with a scrub brush and hose it off. Really think
stuff will require several applications. It works best if you can warm the
engine a little before application. I usually do this at a DIY car wash so I
don't have to worry about all the droppings.
Br careful about spraying water in the distributor and coil.
