9-10, but the conduit may not exceed a certain length, or a certain voltage in order for you to "legally" do it. Many applications allow for conduit fill ratio's that exceed the standards of the NEC ( National Electrical Code) and most of them are short (less than 24") "chases" between control devices mounted in listed Junction boxes for that purpose. It is not advisable to fill a conduit more than the NEC allows for purposes of heat dissipation.

Is THHN oil resistant?

No, THHN is not oil resistant. The Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) "Marking Guide Wire and Cable (January 2010)" shows that THHN is not sunlight, oil, or gasoline resistant; it can not be used in cable trays, direct burial, or for submersible pumps. THHN is a heat-resistant thermoplastic rated for 90 degrees C (140 degrees F), can be used in dry and damp locations. See related links below for the UL Marking Guide.
