Best Answer

Originally Crude Oil was some sort of Carbon based life form -- mostly likely plant matter that died millions of years ago and went through a series of compressions and heating underneath the earths surface and has thus become oil. Unless you were talking about vegetable oil and then that's just plant juice

Canola (canada oil) Oil is processed from the seed of the rape weed. Originally it was used as a synthetic motor oil. "Raw" rapeseed oil is high in erucic acid, a known carcinogen, and must be processesd to reduce the erucic acid content. This cooking oil was originally marketed as Lear Oil, low-Erucic Acid Rapeseed Oil, but later was named Canola oil when marketed to the United States. One of the best selling oils in the US at the time was Mazola Corn oil. So Can(ada) (Maz)ola became the marketing brand.
