Yes. You can go to any motor vehicle section or automotive store and purchase synthetic oil.

Conservation of energy and matter being things though... There's probably still a problem.

I recall reading about scientists making algae (GMO) produce oil from photosynthesis and also from engineered microbes consuming sugars.

Big oil probably buried them, literally. Heh... These things are tricky to scale as oil is relatively 'dirt cheap' and the investments into them are often more than the yield.
