The fire that started on Friday had been partially controlled by emergency crews, but winds rekindled the blaze on Saturday, an oil company source told Reuters, ruling out damage to other areas of the facility.
The source added that no injuries were reported in the incident.
Television images showed a dense plume of black smoke billowing from inside the refinery.
In August, the Salina Cruz refinery was hit by another fire.
The Oaxaca Civil Protection body reported on its Twitter account that access to the complex was restricted by the authorities.
Salina Cruz has a capacity to process 330,000 barrels per day of crude oil, according to data from Eikon Refinitiv.
