How hot does oil have to be to burn you?

Just wondering at what temperature oil can cause a burn?





I know high temperatures can, but is there a general limit where oil below this temperature wont burn you?How hot does oil have to be to burn you?
I think it is a function of time and temperature. I can hold something at 140 deg F for a few seconds before I have to let go. My guess would be that if you had oil on your skin at 150 deg F you would get a burn.
