Hi, I am currently using the DireWolf20 Modpack I have a surplus of Oil
and I am wondering if Oil/Fuel can be used for anything other than
Combustion Engines, more specifically if it can be used for Generating
EU without Gregtech because Gregtech sucks.

From the Fuel wiki page:
A Fuel Bucket and 3 empty Fuel Cans can be placed in the Industrial Centrifuge to create 3 filled Fuel Cans. This takes 25 seconds and requires 2,500 EU. Each filled Fuel Can will generate 100,000 EU in a Generator, or 384,000 EU in a Diesel Generator. This is therefore an easy way to convert Oil/Fuel into EU.
The most efficient way to convert Fuel into EU is by burning it in a Steam Boiler. Doing so will generate a whopping 1,363,636 EU per Fuel Bucket, provided the boiler is at 100% heat capacity.

Can't make Industrial Centrifuge without gregtech but that Steam boiler looks interesting if complicated

I also wouldn't underestimate the importance of combustion engines. While I use biogas engines running on biomas instead of fuel in combustion engines, using enderchests and endertanks to provide the power for a quarry that then teleports the resources to your base is an extremely easy way to use lots of power and get rich at the same time. Only real difference is you'll need two sets of endertanks, one to transport fuel, the other water, but it is the same idea. One tank of biomas is more than enough for the quarry to mine out a chunk, so I'm sure fuel will also do the job.

Well I would really recommend using the oil/fuel on steam boilers because you can get a surplus of energy espically if you don't want to use combustion engines
