L'huile lubrifiante peut-elle s'enflammer ?

Heavy oil is capable of ignition, yet its dense composition makes it challenging to light and hinders complete combustion. However, in environments with high oxygen concentrations, heavy oil can readily burn.

Lubricating oil, while flammable, does not ignite upon contact with a flame as readily as might be assumed. It engages in an oxidation reaction, which is relatively mild in intensity.
