Q
does engine oil catch fire
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine oil is highly flammable and can potentially ignite in certain circumstances. Its typical flash point is around 204C 400F. which is when the oil evaporates into a combustible mixture. However. spontaneous ignition of engine oil requires even higher temperatures. which are not typically reached during normal use. Most fires involving engine oil occur due to leaks that come into contact with hot surfaces. like exhaust manifolds. To minimize the risk of fire. it is crucial to maintain your vehicle properly and keep the engine compartment free from any leaks or debris. Regular inspections can also help prevent oil from leaking and accumulating on parts that can reach temperatures high enough to start a fire.
