Yes, when certain types of oil, particularly fossil fuels like crude oil, diesel, and coal, burn, they can release sulfur dioxide (SO₂) gas. This occurs because these oils contain sulfur compounds. When they are combusted, the sulfur in the oil reacts with oxygen in the air, forming sulfur dioxide.
