Not sure exactly what the question means, but oil is considered a commodity.
A commodity standard is products and services that may vary slightly in quality, but are overall the same across various producers of the same products and services such as gold or oil. All commodities must meet a minimum standard called the basis grade. A non-commodity standard is measured mainly from a product perspective rather than a service perspective such as a certain brand of television or vehicle and its global quality standards.
the same product regardless who sells it
Water is the most important commodity, without it life cannot be sustained.
A commodity is something sold primarily on price rather than on some characteristic of the product. Because non-organic cow's milk is pretty much the same no matter where you get it, it is sold primarily on price and is therefore considered a commodity. Specialty milks--organic, lactose-free, flavored, from Jersey cattle--are sold on a particular characteristic of the product, so they're not commodities.
What is the difference between money and commodity? Commodity money is a sort of money that is considered as a present good. Whereas, fiat money is a future obligation as it is simply a promise to pay in the future. Payment is never made when it comes to fiat money, instead it is only discharged. But commodity money, on the other hand, completes the transaction.
Oil is that commodity.
