How John D. Rockefeller made his money (3)

I believe the answer is:

oil

(Other definitions for oil that I've seen before include "Thick liquid that doesn't dissolve in water" , "what can be seen on iceberg" , "eg Olive" , "Liquid gold" , "Lubricate; fuel" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
