Doesn't stop internal combustion engines from working does it? They only get their oxygen from the atmosphere. I'd say it's unlikely you'd end up with the right oil and compressed air mix for it to combust, but there must be a small chance that you could, surely? Worth avoiding the wrong oil for that reason I would think.
