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.
What else can I help you with?
Is engine oil flammable?
no its combustible!
Is motor oil a non combustible material?
No, oil is combustible.
Is motor oil a non-combustible material?
No, oil is combustible.
Is linseed oil combustible?
Yes, linseed oil is combustible.
What is the fuel that goes into a internal combustible engine?
The fuel that goes in to an internal combustible engine are gasoline or diesel fuel.
Side affects of breathing antifreeze odor from a combustible engine?
side affects of breathing antifreeze odor from a cng combustible engine
Is motor oil combustible?
Yes, it will burn.
Are waste oil based paint combustible or flammable?
oil based paint IS combustible when the temperature gets too high. Keep it in a cooler area and you'll be fine.
Is used engine oil ignitable?
Yes, used engine oil is ignitable. It often contains combustible materials and contaminants that can pose a fire risk if exposed to heat or an open flame. Proper disposal and handling are essential to minimize the risk of ignition and environmental contamination. Always follow local regulations for disposing of used engine oil safely.
Is crude oil combustible?
Yes, crude oil is combustible. It can be burned to release energy, making it a common fuel source for vehicles and power plants. However, precautions must be taken when handling and storing crude oil to prevent accidental fires or explosions.
Is internal combustible engine exhaust emissions combustible?
No, internal combustion engine exhaust emissions are not combustible in the traditional sense. While the exhaust contains unburned hydrocarbons and other volatile compounds that can ignite, the majority of the emissions consist of gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor, which are not combustible. Additionally, the exhaust is typically at a lower temperature and pressure, making combustion unlikely in normal conditions.
What liquids besides gasoline and oil can catch on fire?
vegetable oil! I think. <><><> Vegetable oil is definitely combustible, as are all cooking fats (lard, butter, canola oil, suet) Many industrial solvents used in paints are also combustible- linseed oil, actone, toluene, xylene. Alchols, including ethyl and methyl are highly flammable in a pure state.
