No, THHN is not oil resistant. The Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) "Marking Guide Wire and Cable (January 2010)" shows that THHN is not sunlight, oil, or gasoline resistant; it can not be used in cable trays, direct burial, or for submersible pumps. THHN is a heat-resistant thermoplastic rated for 90 degrees C (140 degrees F), can be used in dry and damp locations.

What is the difference between thhn and romex?
THHN is a heat resistant thermoplastic insulated conductor, usually a single conductor. Romex is a brand name for a nonmetallic sheathed cable, it has multiple conductors inside, the insulated ones are insulated with THHN insulation.
Will number 8 gas rated wire feed a 60 amp garage sub panel installed in USA?
Not sure what you mean by "gas" rated wire. If you mean "gasoline resistant" you probably have type THHN wire insulation. Size #8 THHN is not suitable for a 60 amp application anywhere.

What is the temperature rating of THHN WIRE?
THHN wire is moisture resistant thermoplastic allowed for use in dry and wet locations. Maximum temperature is 60 C or 140 F. Being thermoplastic it should not be handled below 0 C as cracking of the insulation could easily occur.
Can you run thhn conductors exposed?
n you run thhn wire in a cable tray
What is the difference between Grade R and Grade T hoses in welding?
Grades R and RM Hose Are Recommended For Use With Acetylene Gas only. Grade R features a non oil resistant and a non flame resistant tube and cover. Grade RM features a non oil resistant and a non flame resistant tube with an oil resistant and flame resistant cover. Grade T Welding Hose Is Safe For Use With All Fuel Gases Including Acetylene. Grade T features an oil resistant and flame resistant tube and cover.
Is wool resistant to vegetable oil?
No, not naturally.
What is the acronym of N95 mask?
The respirator masks that are designated with the filter class of N95 means that the respirator filter will block at least 95% of small particles. The N refers to its properties related to oil resistance of the mask: N = Not Oil Resistant, R = Oil Resistant, P = Oil Proof
