Excuse me what? Do you have a video of silicone oil bursting into flames in at least semi-realistic circumstances or sth to back that up? I just looked at some product safety datasheets and was only able to find one that listed it as extremely flammable, but that was not pure silicon oil but silicon oil in a pressurized can, where the aerosol was the flammable part. I also may or may not have spent the past 5 minutes holding a small blowtorch into a puddle of silicone oil with no fire to be seen.
