I'm assuming that you mean refined petroleum because you would have had more detail if it was a specific oil.
The answer is negative 150 degrees Fahrenheit

Depends on the "weight" of the oil, which is listed on the can. However, oil freezes at much lower temperatures than water.

Each oil will have a different freezing point.
Here are some:
corn oil - 20 deg. C
sunflower oil - 17 deg. C
olive oil - 6 deg. C
sesame oil - 6 deg. C
peanut oil 3 deg. C
palm oil 24.1 deg. C
coconut oil 25.1 deg. C

Just for everyone's information - EVERY thing will freeze (freezing defined as cessation of atomic motion)- it is just a matter of temperature! At Absolute Zero, -473F (?) (or 0K.) everything (that we currently know of, wil freeze!

depends on what kind of oil you're talking about. Not enough info to answer the question.
