Tips & Strategies
There are many ways to obtain oil. My personal favorite is, to run around and tame a few Tek creatures. Kill their babies or the wild ones and harvest them with a chainsaw, if you don’t have one use a hatchet. If you need oil over a long timespan just tame a few Tek creatures an let them breed. Kill their babies and youll get a lot of oil and some great side products like meta scrap, wich is a great equivalent to metal. If you don’t have the time or nerves to do that you can just go to the ice biome and destroy the big black rocks (our intended) and youll get a lot of oil in a short time (the only problem is the transportation of yourself and the oil from the ice biome to your base)
More Oil Tips
Just murder the sea pickles and get so much oil that America will want to know your location
(Island, Mobile) I tend to get my oil from oily rocks up in the north, snowy, area on the very west side where there are icy islands in the water. The oily rocks are all over the icy islands! Hope this was helpful :)
to get oil over time, tame a dung beetle and put poop in its inventory. it'll turn it into oil as well as compost, and you'll get better results depending on the size of the poop.
To make gasoline, put oil and hide into a forge
There are Quite a bit of oil veins on Fjordur, also the oil fields in the volcano island has a lot of oil rocks, otherwise look in ocean or get a Tuso. Up if helpful!
Basilosaures gives up to 1500 oil with better Rates

Oh wait…
if you can’t find a critter that drops oil, i found quite a lot of oil rocks in the northern region (mobile, island map), around the shore. be weary of wolves and argies. rexes too, but typically they’re preoccupied with mammoths or rhinos. hope this helped!
