Granted, and as with most of the mythology information, it’s not given to us in a transparent fashion or all that elegantly but… The black oil in the movie is the alien’s life force. It contains both consciousness and the building blocks for making new aliens.

The point was made in the movie that the syndicate had no idea the oil would do anything other than control those it infected and this new information very quickly changed their outlook on how they would try to stall the invasion.

The black oil was also very separately the alien “blood” in some episodes and ACTUAL fuel oil in “Piper Maru”, “Apochrypha” and “Vienen”. It was just a medium for a body-jumping alien consciousness that was able to be used as it was similar enough to the alien’s own black oil blood stuff.

(I think!!!)
