It depends which type of oil you are referring to.
If you are referring to petroleum, it's not a biofuel in the usual sense. Current usage of the term "biofuel" indicates fuel made from recently harvested living material. Petroleum is biofuel only in the sense that it came from material that was living many millions of years ago, and so it is normally considered a non-renewable mining product.

When burnt, this carbon dioxide (CO2) is returned to the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, making biofuel carbon-neutral. So it does not contribute to global warming.
