This is not a correct statement. "Mineral oil" refers to oils that are derived from crude oil by normal distillation and catalyitic cracking processes. "Synthetic" oils have that name because they are derived from petrochemical feedstocks in a specialized chemical transformation process i.e. they are "synthesized".
