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.
