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!

For early game .. just tame Dung Beetles… at least 2 or 3 is enough… put in close area… give dino poop and some spoiled meat… make them wandering… and u will get oil.. at least 4 and also get fertilizer from poop that u give just know… save ur time and can gather oil to make jerky meat… u will get ton of fertilizer and not need to make fertilizer bin…

Dung beetles make some oil of ya give them poop.

Tame beetle+poop=oil

Just get a dunkie on the island, then America knows your location from all the oil.

Everyone needs oil for late-mid-game, so make yourself some fur armor and go to the snowy areas, there is usually alot of oil rocks on the beaches. Use a metal pickaxe to harvest oil.

Tame a basilsaurus just leave it and it will produce oil

I think basliosaur actually drop oil naturally if you take it, not sure tough.

You can find oil nodes in the water or you can find a lot in an cold biome, if you have a cryopoded anky and an argentavis you can get a massive amount, just make sure you have some medical brews, otter, fur armor or something else that keeps you warm. I almost died because I only had a fur chest piece, scuba leggings and chitin hat, gloves, and boots and forgot to have medical brews on me.

In the south west part of herbibore island there's a lot of trilobites, you can go down there with a spino and you will get chitin, oil, and pearls, is not the most efficent way but is the safest

you can bring your anky to the arctic biome on about 10,50

And there are some oil rocks there gives you a lot of oil

Mining drill and a good wyvern is my favorite way the shiny black rocks along north coast and on icebergs on the island will yeald decent amount of oil and quickly much better then swimming to bottom of ocean

Kill Tech Dino’s for it it helps if you have no oil around you

If you want loads of oil then go to herbivore island on an Ichthyosaurus and kill the Basilosaurus the creatures protecting won’t attack you even if you hit them if they do attack it’ll only be for a but then they’ll stop. Each Basilosaurus drops around 200 oil on mobile. Not sure if it would work on Pc or console but you may try it.

There's oil on Tek dinos too if I'm not mistaken!

On en trouve aussi sur les dinos Tek normalement!

basilosaurus once tamed will produce oil

When struggling to find these, i recommend taming a basilo or mass killing basi's with a mosa, it gives 300+ for each basi killed

Does anyone know how to make gasoline ?

For the people asking where the can comes from

If u didn’t already know plastic is made from oil. So when ur smelting it or whatever u get the can from the plastic stuff in the oil. Still haven’t figured out why it’s red tho… kinda sus….

On fjordur above helms deep there is 3 oil veins and some metal and obsidian. Inside helms deep in the very back there is a cave with cave creatures, inside it has crystal and silica pearls. I honestly recommend helms deep for starting out.

Go to lat 14 long 44 in island and look for oil rocks [black shinning rock]

There will be lot!
