Don't call him Captain Planet... seriously.

Oiler, leader of the Metro Squad, is an oil addict—in reverse. He under-fuels himself to conserve energy, and thus runs dry in long combats. His squadmates think this is just the result of his ceaseless efforts to protect the innocent.[1]

His combiner partner on the Metro Squad is Slide.

Oiler transforms into a trailer truck that is intended to be the front half of a blue and white tanker truck that he forms with his combiner partner Slide. He can, of course, combine with any other Micromaster Combiner to form a new vehicle, as well as connect to any Micromaster Transport. Oiler was only available in a six-pack with his squadmates Slide, Power Run, Roadburner, Strikedown and Wheel Blaze.
