Tips & Strategies
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
There's oil on Tek dinos too if I'm not mistaken!
On en trouve aussi sur les dinos Tek normalement!
Kill Tech Dino’s for it it helps if you have no oil around you
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
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
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.
basilosaurus once tamed will produce oil
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.
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….
Is it just me or you can’t collect oil with a chainsaw?
Go to lat 14 long 44 in island and look for oil rocks [black shinning rock]
There will be lot!
Farming trilobite on the shores of crystal Isles is an easy early game way of getting oil
Sea grass rocks give oil watch out for Megalodon and bassoSauris
P.s I don’t know how to spell good

The easiest way is from killing trilobites (the horseshoe crab guys) but to get more, go to the icebergs up north and you’ll find oil deposits just sitting there. Penguins are also found up there, and they drop lots of prime meat and organic polymer, so a trip up north may be worth it for mid game resource farming
There’s a bunch a black gloss rocks in the Arctic area, and those contain loads of oil. I recommend anky.
A safe (albeit cumbersome) way is to just tame a male and female hesperornis, breed a group of female offspring, and have them constantly lay eggs. Hesperornis eggs when cooked in the cooking pot gives oil
In some snow caves there are oil rocks and i will just go with a pick and get all the oil i want. I know there are caves with oil on rag but i am not sure about other places
2 oil vein/node things on Fjordur at 85.8,43 on a little island down at the bottom of the map (:
Basilosaurus passively makes oil when tamed.
