The oil pollutes the waters, and it very difficult to clean up. Polluted waters can create unfavorable living conditions for marine life (animals and plants), which could lead to deaths of a species. Oil washed ashore can cause pollution on the land. Animals that are there can get covered in oil, which could cause damage or death to the animals, and land is destroyed due to the spill.
AnswerA large portion of aquatic species rely on chemical messaging to transmit and accept information. The oil disrupts this, and at a certain point, these organisms are not able to effectively find food or navigate properly.

Is crude oil dangerous if added to the ocean?
I will rephrase your question a bit: Do all crude oil spills impact the environment? Oil occurs in naturally in the Gulf of Mexico and in the ocean, coming from oil seeps on the sea floor. The concentrations are low enough so the impact is minor. Numerous oil spills occur every year with only minor impact to the environment. Some oil is spilled when tankers complete their loading or unloading. The environmental impact in these cases usually minor. When large quantities of oil are spilled into an ocean, the environment is harmed and a dangerous condition exist for boats in the area.
