yes  oil is main issue......at automobile service station, and the oil used in automobile sector(used in engine) are the category of hazardous waste.  oil contains hydrocarbons.....

This has been mentioned in subcategory 5.1 & 5.2 of schedule I (Hazardous waste management, handling & trans-boundary rule). Residues containing oil, ETP sludge are the haz waste generated from automobile service stations....infact some oil soaked cotton waste too...

and yes ETP Sludge generated frm automobile service station is hazardous in nature.
Process waste, residues and sludges generated from paint booth are hazardous in nature (category 21)

waste oil removed from the vehicles,oil soaked rags, grease and petroleum sludge are the common hazardous wastes generated from automobile service stations.ETP sludge is Hazardous waste.From the paint booth the paint flakes, paint and thinner containers, hydrocarbon residues and contaminated soil from the paint booth are the hazardous wastes

ya ETP sludge and waste from paint booth and also used oil from D G sets are also considered as hazardous waste.
