Oil is pumped out of the ground by first locating the oil and determining how far below the ground it is. A large drill is then used to drill to where the oil is and a rig is used to pump the oil out of the ground to be sent off to the refinery.

∙ 13y agoThe Method is Called Fractional Distillation
Crude oil is a mix of hydrocarbons. The properties of them stay unchanged and specific. Because of this it's possible to separate the mixture into individual fractions.
To separate the substances, the oil is heated until it is evaporated and then it is cooled and allowed to condense at different temperatures to make different fractions (fractions are the different substances in crude oil).
the fractions with low boiling points rise to the top of the column and the ones with high boiling points condense and are collected at the bottom.

What is the thing on the oil pan on a mark VIII?
I assume you are talking about the round thing in the drivers side of the oil pan with a wire coming out of it? It is an oil level sensor. If the oil level is dangerously low upon startup the display center will show OIL LEVEL LOW. This can happen when the car is parked on an extreme grade, usually with the nose of the car lower than the front as there is no oil touching the sensor when you start up...You have to cycle the key on level ground two times to allow the sensor to read that there is sufficient oil in the pan.
