I'm a notable fan of the X-files. However, NOT of the mythology episodes. Even back in the day, these episodes just got tired fast. It actually made the character of Mulder seem childish, which fortunately was addressed in the 2016/18 reboots; when the series got to make fun of itself.
Of course, they couldn't all be monster of the week episodes either, otherwise it might as well have been the Twilight Zone.
Anyway, this 2nd of a two-part episode is a bit more tolerable, because of the greater portion of history in the mix. However, the evil or "alien oil" thing, was more funny (then and now) to me, than even remotely scarey.
So, if you're into the alien mythology episodes this 2 part installment, might be right down your memory lane, and with a but more of a fun historical reference as well.
