Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #160: Oil from Dragon Ball Super!
Oil - Dragon Ball Super -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week, we'll be taking a look at Oil, a hulking bruiser and member of the Heeters!
Story
Oil is the younger brother of Elec, the leader of the Heeters, who are a group whose goal is to take down Frieza and wrest control over the universe from him.
Under the absolute authority of Elec, Oil and his siblings procure planets for Frieza to invade.
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 68)
Granolah, a bounty hunter working with the Heeters, finds a way to power up using the Dragon Balls of Planet Cereal.
Intending to use this power to defeat Frieza, the Cerealian storms into the Heeter's base and demands they tell him the galactic emperor's whereabouts. Oil is dispatched to send him on his way, but finds he's no match for Granolah's overwhelming new strength.
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 70)
Elec then devises a plan to use Goku and Vegeta to get rid of Granolah.
Accompanied by his sister Macki, he visits the all-knowing Zuno and learns where Goku and Vegeta can be found.
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 71)
After finding Goku and Vegeta, Oil piques their interest by informing them of a villain in need of defeating. He then takes them to Planet Cereal to have them fight none other than Granolah!
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 72)
Oil and Macki proudly present their younger brother Gas, who also received a power-up thanks to the Cerealian Dragon Balls, and intend to have him take down Granolah, Goku, and Vegeta!
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 78)
When Gas has trouble against this potent triple team Oil and Macki try to jump in the fray, but they're stopped in their tracks by some timely hypnosis from Monaito, Granolah's elderly Namekian companion.
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 86)
Elec summons Frieza, intent on having Gas take him out, but this plan ends in failure.
Finally, through Frieza's good graces, Oil and Macki find themselves with a new job as kitchen staff on Frieza's ship.

"Dragon Ball Super" Chapter 68
Trivia
He's a big eater!
Oil is the largest member of the Heeters, and that might just mean that he always has his next meal on his mind! We see this in action when he mistook a Dragon Ball flying off into the distance for a shooting star and promptly wished for "tasty food".
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 83)
It would seem that Oil is also a capable chef. When it came time for Gas to face off against Goku and his team, Oil cheered him on by saying, "We'll have a tasty meal waiting for you!"
