How fast does it take for oil to to catch fire?

Well, I can't find it anywhere. Like, a 6ft long line of oil, and you light one end. how fast would it take to get to the end? Plz answer fast!How fast does it take for oil to to catch fire?
Depends. Petroleum based oil mixed with?

What kind of oil?


Since you asked the question in the automotive section,


I can tell you that it is improbable to figure the equation.


Since most automotive engine oils have a flash temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.


Meaning that if the oil was at 400 degrees when you lit it on fire, it would only take about 2 seconds to go 6 feet.


On the other hand if the oil was -20 degrees Fahrenheit you would be able to dowse boxes upon boxes of matches in it and it would never light on fire.
a long time. Pennzoil10w30 has a flash point of 415 degrees Fahrenheit, an autoignition of greater than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. And is classified as a : Class III-B combustible. so with that said , you would need a very hot flame to first ignite the oil, then you would need a chair to wait for that flame to travel the 6 feet.
oil is hard to burn, in fact I dont think oil itself will actually go up in flames.
won't get there.
