There's a concept called "unjust enrichment." While you can argue that you should not be made to pay for it, and maybe win, the oil company can probably still get their oil back.

I would suggest that, if you want the oil, you agree to a settlement with the company whereby you keep the oil they have pumped, but pay less for it. ...just be careful to contact your own oil company, who - if they make a scheduled delivery - could flood your tank.
