Oil usually refers to petroleum lubricant. It is refined product of crude oil pumped from underground oil fields around the world. Synthetic oil is lubricant manufactured as a substitute for petroleum lubricant, it was first developed by Germany during WWII to make up their shortages in oil. Semi synthetic oil is a mixture of petroleum lubricant and syntetic lubricant.
