It depends upon the nature of the undesired materials:

  • Rust?
  • Water?
  • Something else?

Simple. Burn a small, measured quantity to heat a known quantity of water and measure the temperature rise of the water.

You just need a metal container to burn the oil, a beaker for the water and a thermometer. Any unburned impurities will remain in the container.
