The previous answer was obscene and irrelevant. I removed it.
Engine oil is combustible (i.e., flammable), whether it's new or old and dirty. It is a liquid petroleum product, and as such it's flammable.
But if you mean combustible as in the term, "internal combustion engine", it is not a suitable fuel. In an internal-combustion engine, the rate of burn must be very rapid, or "explosive". Engine oil is not explosive under normal pressures. However, if pressure were very high, and if the motor oil were sprayed in tiny droplets into an oxygen-rich environment, it could become explosive enough to serve as a fuel for an internal combustion engine.
