My personal "canon" is that heavy and light oil still have some amount of impurity in them, which is why they're byproducts from heavy/light oil. I don't think I'm going to add this as a setting, to avoid contributing further to settings page bloat... That said, this is an easy change to make in a tweaks mod:
ScrapIndustry.items["heavy-oil"] = nil
ScrapIndustry.items["light-oil"] = nil
Tar is only directly added to oil processing recipes, . You can alternatively selectively disable recipes with ScrapIndustry.recipes["lubricant"] = {ignore=true}
