Yes, motor oil is a compound, but actually it is a mixture of a number of compounds. There are a lot of different hydrocarbon molecules that make up motor oil. Some are the "mixed bag" of hydrocarbons that are the out-take from the cracker (the fractional distillation column or tower) during refining, and some others are the ones that are "added into" the mix by the petrochemist who is formulating the motor oil.
