Oil is mostly man made petroleum is fossil fuels and is mostly natural
Oil is a broad term that refers to any viscous liquid that does not dissolve in water, while petroleum oil specifically refers to a type of oil derived from crude oil through refining processes. Petroleum oil is a subset of the broader category of oils.
Crude oil is the raw, unrefined form of oil extracted from the ground, while petroleum oil refers to the refined products obtained from processing crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Petroleum oil is the end product that is used for various purposes, whereas crude oil is the starting material before refining.
Petroleum is a word derived from Latin: Petra - rock, oleum - oil. Thus, in direct translation petroleum means oil from rock and is commonly regarded as a very close synonym of Crude Oil. However, according to Britannica Encyclopedia, petroleum as a technical term encompasses: the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Oil is a general term that refers to any liquid that is not soluble in water. Crude oil, on the other hand, specifically refers to the unrefined petroleum that is extracted from the ground.
Petroleum is oil, more specifically crude oil, a thick mix of hydrocarbons formed from compressed plant matter over a period of millions of years.
"Petroleum" is another name for what the rest of us call "oil" pumped out of the ground. The only difference is that when you call your oil "petroleum", you can get a better price for it.
Look at the can it came in or do an oil analyst if it is already in the engine. What difference does it make?

I think petroleum engineering has to do with the discovery of crude oil[hydrocarbons] in it's dark,sticky,viscous stage and lifting it to the surface and passing it to the refineries for the extraction of other components viz petroleum gases,petrol,kerosene . While gas and oil engineering has to do with reserving,distribution of refined oil and gas from crude oil to depots. Ismail Sani Ali.
Oil and petroleum are the same thing.

Crude oil is the raw, unrefined form of oil extracted from the ground, while petroleum oil refers to the refined products obtained from processing crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Petroleum oil is the end product that is used for various purposes, whereas crude oil is the starting material before refining.
Synthetic oil is a chemically made substitute made from petroleum components as opposed to non synthetic which is made from crude oil.

Yes . . . motor oil IS refined petroleum.
Oil and Petroleum use is very efficient.
