Brent,
It is not the *pressure* of the Oxygen, it is the *concentration*. At standard atmospheric concentration (21%), oil is a combustible. At some higher level, oil becomes flammable. At an even higher concentration, it can spontaniously combust.
Obviously, an elevated temperature can also contribute to this.
Does this make sense?
