If you are talking about Lubricating Oil. The majority of it will be will be a base oil which will be either a mineral or synthetic. There will then be additives which are chemicals which improve the performance of the oil in some way. There are literally hundreds of options for these but common ones are
Anti wear
extreme pressure
Rust and Corrosion inhibitors
Viscosity improvers
Anti Foam
Demulsifiers
etc..
If you are thinking about Grease these are also made from a base oil and have various additives depending on application but they also contain thickeners and soaps.
Hope this helps
