A method for the continuous decomposition of stable carbon dispersions in waste engine oils, the decomposition being immediately followed by an oil re-refining step as, preferably, a short-path distillation. In accordance with the invention, waste oil is heated, under a pressure ranging from 1 to 100 Pa, in the form of a thin film (0.1 to 2 mm thickness) to a temperature of 200 DEG -300 DEG C., whereby liberated vapors together with entrained microdrops condense at a temperature of 20 DEG -100 DEG C. Thereupon the condensate is immediately subjected to a short-path distillation to be re-refined. The entire process is advantageously effected in a single apparatus.
