Oil

"Experience what it's like to be an American soldier."

This is the optimized path for completing the oil run.

Introduction

It is one of the first recommended runs for newer players as its payout can be increased with a Worker's Protection License. This is a good beginner run as all three of the areas are very close together. Keep in mind, however, that to store oil in houses or gang sheds, you will need to purchase oil storage in order to store the liquid oil.

Starting the Run

Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of iron for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.

A pickaxe (Purchased at gas stations/markets) Required for collecting oil
Food & Water
Bergen Backpack for space
A fuel truck to store oil
Oil processing license ($10,000 at the DMV)
Head to the Oil Tower west of Neochori to fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the Oil Tower area

Processing

Head northwest of the Oil Tower past the city of Kore to the Oil Processor to refine your oil into processed oil.
To process, scroll wheel on the processing machinery inside of the hangar, you can either process from the vehicle or from your backpack and must remain 25m of the machine.
Before pressing Process, it will give you the time required to process. Canceling processing will process items up to the progress you obtained.

Selling

After you have processed everything you will depart down the MSR (Main State Road) directly east towards the copper trader. The trader is standing in an industrial dig site and is hidden by advantageous terrain on all sides that will protect you from sight and crosshairs alike. Once you have sold quickly go back into the town of Agios Dionysios as there is a conveniently placed ATM right off the main street to deposit your profits.

Payout

Using a fuel truck with no storage upgrades and a bergen backpack (140 Processed Oil) will yield a payout of $409,772 (WPL: $471,238)

Run Time

Using a fuel truck with no storage upgrades, a bergen backpack, and Tier-4 turbo this run will take 24 minutes and 15 seconds. With a workers protection license to increase processing, it will take 20-22 minutes.
