I had thought that they required an additive in the fuel to make it burn visibly, after that horrible huge invisible fire in the pits, like, 10 years ago. But maybe I'm smoking something myself
Oil
will burn (or I know petroleum-based oil will... come to think of it I'm not so sure about synthetic)... but in any case it's doubtful that the relatively small amount you'd spill while changing your oil (even if it seemed large to you) would cause any flames.
If you want to get rid of the smell faster, you could always go have your engine steam cleaned.
