That is the sticky part for many cities. They don't want oil, antifreeze, etc. going into the municipal sewer system. They may even want expensive grease or fire traps, too.

For my shop, all the inspector wanted to see was the "drain to air", meaning they want to see the outlet above ground. After the final inspection, most people just bury it into a hole filled with pea gravel like a drain field. (I'm in a pretty rural area!)
