Ditillation at different temperatures
Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation in an oil refinery.
Crude oil is separated in an oil refinery which makes a bunch of different byproducts such as airplane gas, kerosene, and alot more. -cooleye101

Diesel (C15-C16 chains) is separated from crude oil through the process of fractional distillation. The temperature range for this distillation is between 250 and 300 degrees Celsius.
It is separated by fractional distillation into the different components.
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.
Waxes are separated from crude oils in a process called solvent dewaxing. A limited number of crude oils are suitable for processing in the lube oil refineries that run this process. These crude oils must have a high wax content in the original crude, resulting in a high pour point, making these types of crude oils difficult to extract and process in other refinery units. See the excellent link below entitled: "The Evolution of Base Oil Technology"
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
