Never pour oil into the sink drain, it will combine with soap and solidified, clogging the drain. In some cases you need to call plumber to fix that.

Ahh Really? I always do that but pour hot water at the same time, never had an issue

That just pushes the problem farther down and makes your sewage system a little more expensive to maintain. It's best to wait for the oil to cool enough that it doesn't melt plastic, then pour it in the trash.

Or if your landlord sucks just dump it down the drain, I guess... But adding boiling water just shifts the problem to someone else (taxpayers, city employees, etc) who most likely doesn't deserve it.
