RafaMotor oil is not a pure compound, it's a complex mixture of many hydrocarbons and other organic compounds.
Since each pure compound has its own, specific boiling point the mixture of them has (more or less) a RANGE of boiling temperatures. This temperature range is certainly above 250-300 oC (boiling oil is not stable and has no lubricant properties).

What is the boiling point of 30w oil?
The boiling point of 30w oil can vary depending on the specific composition of the oil. Generally, the boiling point of motor oils, including 30w oil, can range between 400-600 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you use oil bath for boiling point determination?
Yes, an oil bath can be used for boiling point determination as it provides a stable and uniform heating environment. By immersing the sample in the oil bath, you can accurately measure the boiling point of the substance while minimizing temperature fluctuations. Make sure to choose an oil with a boiling point higher than the substance being tested to avoid interference.
What is the connection between the size of the molecules in crude oil and their condensing or boiling point's?
Smaller molecules have a lower boiling point, and larger molecules have a higher boiling point. Source: Learnt this in class today.
Which has a lower boiling point A alcohol B water C oil or D ice?
oil
What boils quicker oil water or washing up liquid?
Water boils quicker than oil and washing up liquid. This is because water has a lower boiling point compared to oil and washing up liquid. Oil and washing up liquid have higher boiling points, which means it will take longer for them to reach the boiling point compared to water.
