Crude oil is the oil from the well. Motor oil has been processed.

The motor oil must have certain properties, such as viscosity and density, and it can not contain any contaminants, such as sulfur.

Crude oil is unrefined oil, and it has a wide range of viscosities and densities, and may contain contaminants.
