Best Answer

"Synthetic motor oil" is made from petrochemicals (petroleum distillates) that are altered to provide superior lubrication or endurance as compared to standard mineral oils.

"Synthetic fuels" are created from fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) or from biomass, using complex chemical reactions to create various molecular configurations. The earliest synfuels included methanol, and liquids made using coal gas and hydrogen.
