The more FFA an oil contains, the quicker it will break down and start smoking. [2] [3] The lower the value of FFA, the higher the smoke point. [4] However, the FFA content typically represents less than 1% of the total oil and consequently renders smoke point a poor indicator of the capacity of a fat or oil to withstand heat. [4] [5] [6]
Oil is largely composed of hydrocarbons which can burn if ignited. Still another important property of motor oil is its flash point, the lowest temperature at which the oil gives off vapors which can ignite. It is dangerous for the oil in a motor to ignite and burn, so a high flash point is desirable.

Oil has a higher boiling point than water, so it can be used to cool items at a temperature of 100 °C or higher. However, pressurised water-cooling may also exceed 100 °C. Oil is an electrical insulator, thus it can be used inside of or in direct contact with electrical equipment such as in transformers.
