Requirements

• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, regulates workplace consumer goods. Under flammable liquids, motor oil is regulated to state its flammability and the oil's environmental and health effects.
  
  

Features

• Motor oil labels describe the active ingredients of the oil. For example, Marathon Motor Oil writes that their motor oil is a "complex mixture of highly refined lubricating oil base stocks and additives."
  
  

Considerations

• If motor oil is used at a business, such as an auto mechanic shop, the motor oil must be stored away from other car products. Motor oil must be stored in a location with other flammable products away from electronic machinery, batteries and air-pressurized products such as tires, according to OSHA.
