Oil comes from buried and decomposed organic material that originates from dead plants and animals, millions of years old.
Some confusion exists because by one definition, a fossil can be animal or plant that has been preserved as it existed millions of years ago. You probably think of fossils as they are displayed in museums.
However, this is not the only definition. As with the fossil fuels, a fossil can be considered the transformed remains of buried animal or plant life from a distant geological age that is recovered. This would apply to gas, oil and coal.

Oil is considered a fossil fuel because it is formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Over time, these organic materials were buried and subjected to heat and pressure, transforming them into oil reserves. This process of oil formation takes hundreds of thousands to millions of years, making it a non-renewable resource.
The main fossil fuels starting with "o" are oil, which includes conventional crude oil as well as oil sands and oil shale. Other fossil fuels not starting with "o" include coal, natural gas, and peat.
Oil is formed by the decomposition of fossilized plant and animal remains. This is why it is referred to as a fossil fuel. Other fossil fuels include coal and natural gas.
The three main types of fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from plant material, while oil and natural gas are liquids and gases formed from decaying marine organisms. All three types of fossil fuels are non-renewable resources.

Oil is the fossil fuel that Earth has the least of. While oil reserves are finite, there are still large quantities of coal and natural gas available for extraction.

Because candles need feul, oil, and oxygen to burn.Without oxygen it will burn out.
Vegetable oil is renewable, fossil fuel is not.
Fossil fuels in Japan are oil, gas.
Crude oil, coal and are fossil fuels. They were formed over millions of years. Crude oil and gas were formed from dead marine organisms
