Oil for heating is the worst thing ever.  Expensive and dirty.

What qualities of oil are used in the US for heating?

Here in Germany, it is a light fuel oil, pretty much identical to
Diesel (they add dye to it to make sure it isn't used in vehicles
because the two are taxed differentiy).  It is also low on sulphur,
if that is what you were referring to.  Plus, emission limits are
pretty strict and checked anually.
