Oil is a figure used often in the Scripture, for a variety of things.
It is used as a symbol for the Holy Spirit. It was used in consecrating men and objects to the Lord's service. Oil has medicinal properties and speaks of soothing and restoration. Lamps gave light, consuming oil as their fuel, and when one visited a home oil was used to anoint their heads both refreshment, and as a sign of dignity and favor. All of these could be capitalized on in terms of the subject before us.
