Important to note:

Important correction: the oily rags that spontaneity combust are soaked in drying oils like Linseed or Tung, typically used for finishing wood. These oils oxidize in an exothermic reaction, which is why big piles of them can generate enough heat to ignite. Lubricating oils don't generate heat in the same way.
