Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Oil oxidation is a process that all oil goes through and involves a series of chemical reactions between compounds in the oil and oxygen that lead to the quality of the oxygen falling. In other words, oxidation degrades oil.

Even though this is a process that all oil goes through and one that cannot be stopped, it's pace can be reduced. One way of doing this is by adding oxidation inhibitors which are antioxidant additives that work to slow the degradation of the oil stock by oxidation.
