True spontaneous combustion can happen from drying oils, i.e. linseed oil, and used to be somewhat common when all paint was oil paint and painters routinely used cotton waste and left it saturated in oxidizing drying oil in a pile or in a trash barrel. Rags would insulate the heat as the oil catalyzed and it would build and build till smoldering, then burn, fueled by the paint itself. Very rare nowadays. Heat similar to the heat from catalyzing Bondo. Same thing can happen in fiberglassing shops.
Not from motor oil.
Or could just have been from an old pair of glasses focussing sunlight on something.
