Nope, normally the old oil units are forced air.
The old units that are of the space heater (console) type are normally
natural or LP gas fired.
But, as always... area's vary...

We've got plenty of these old freestanding fuel oil space heaters around
here...
Work great, cost lots & need yearly cleaning, if not more...
More than once I've left covered w/soot. (I include "cleanup time" in my
billing)
I write off my shop-vacs...
