No lubricating oils are not. The reason is that they have to be able to withstand heat from friction of moving engine parts etc. They have very high boiling points and thus very low volatility.

Oil would be considered a nonviolatile liquid while gasoline would be considered volatile?

Volatile simply means it evaporates easily. Gasoline evaporates; it's the evaporating gas that burns, not the liquid. Oil doesn't evaporate easily, so it isn't volatile.


Is lubricating oil more volatile than bitumen?

Yes, lubricating oil is generally more volatile than bitumen. Lubricating oils are composed of lighter hydrocarbons and have lower boiling points, allowing them to evaporate more readily at ambient temperatures. In contrast, bitumen is a thick, viscous substance made up of heavier hydrocarbons, which results in lower volatility and a higher boiling point. This difference in volatility is a key factor in their respective applications and behaviors.
