I just found that the auto-ignition temp of motor oil is 932F (500C) this explains why it is so smoky, and leads to carbon deposits, and is not a very good fuel additive. ATF is similar, and the question of burning both of these oils comes up often. Here is some science to explain why not to burn them.
