no, oil is composed of covalent compounds the electrons is held tight so they can't freely move, so no electricity

No, as oil is mainly organic compounds, which are covalently bonded, then no free electrons are associated with it, and therefore oil cannot conduct electricity.

Given enough voltage and current, anything will conduct.
However, oil is sometimes used as an insulator in some special purpose capacitors and therefore does not conduct current.
