In the top left corner of the island, you’ll find a large series of icebergs with penguins on them, on the same icebergs are giant oil rocks which you can harvest with a pickaxe. It worked for me and I hope it works for you. :)
Player-written tips for Oil in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Farming trilobite on the shores of crystal Isles is an easy early game way of getting oil
You can get oil by killing trilobites near the beaches,there are oil nodes to get oil faster,they are found in the ocean and the north snowy areas,killing a basilosaurus will also give you oil, a tamed basilo can passive gather oil,the limit of gathering is 20.
Just get a water creature go underwater with it and there will be oil rocks then you’ll get oil
If you live in the Arctic or don’t have a water Dino to kill basilos I recommend farming some of the oil nodes in the arctic there are a good amount of them and with an argy and anky you can easily farm lots of oil.
Killing tek creatures gives you oil.

For the people asking where the can comes from

You can get oil from dung beetles cause when you give them poop they produce oil in there iventory
On Ragnarok in te viking bay there are some oil rocks inside the water, watch out because of manta's and megs
Whales make a lot of oil just make sure it has plenty of raw FISH meat
Killing mosa will get you oil.
An easy way to get oil in the sea is to first see the oil at the top of the water and if you follow it you can find oily rocks

Just make a base at the beach, around 45 degrees from the Blue/White Obelisk. The beach has an island and a waterfall nearby. Metal outpost hence oil outpost! You'll get never ending oil rocks. Make a box, keep and anky and a protector dino for your oil runs. If you're like me, you'll end up shifting base to here in late game, plus the Blue/white Obelisk mountain has tons of metal and obsidian and very little carnivore spawns, as they are taken up by argies and dire wolfs which I personally find easier to deal with than others aggressive spawns period. P.S there are Rexes near the beaches not at the mountain though.
Cut some hair, make some fur, then take your rg to the snow to the hundreds of oil nodes. May as well kill some penguins while your at it for their organic poly
Kill tek dino and harvest the dead body with your tamed dino(raptor,rex etc)(omnivor type,)
Oil can be a good resource mostly seen in the ocean and rocks can give oil or triolbites can give oil to amonites can give oil too.
Mining drill was better than dunk. This is intresting.
A ton of oil veins In snow biome use iron pick or mining drill
just get a sea mount, find oil rocks in the ocean, big sharks and mantas may want to meat ride you, but it’s easy to escape from them with your mount.
