A film of oil coats the unit, increasing vulnerability to fire. Remove with Remedy.
Description (The War of the Lions)
Oil is a status in Final Fantasy Tactics. A unit afflicted with Oil becomes weak to fire attacks, doubling the damage they take. After any fire attack hits the affected unit, it is removed; otherwise, Oil remains until the end of battle or until healed with a healing skill that targets Oil. The afflicted character will turn a certain gray and a oil drop icon floats above it.
Due to a glitch, Oil does not work in the original PlayStation version. This was fixed in the War of the Lions re-release.
