What is the chemical equation for the combustion of oil or petroleum?

diesel + O2 -> CO2 + H2O (+ CO + other crud, if the combustion isn't complete or the diesel fuel isn't pure).
You'll notice that equation doesn't come close to balancing. This is because "diesel" is not a chemical, it's a complex mixture of chemicals, mostly hydrocarbons, so it's impossible to write a full, balanced equation.

How is oil used to release energy?
{In the banner, Biochemistry was put beside Wood-Burning Stoves for this Reason: The Biochemical Equation that Describes Photosynthesis is the exact opposite of the Biochemical Equation that Describes Respiration.}The Chemical Reactions that describe Combustion - the combining of hydrocarbons [oil for example] with Oxygen to produce H2O and chemical [thermal] energy - Heat - and CO2 - are identical to the Biochemical reactions that describe Respiration.
What is the chemical equation of essential oils?
Essential oil are mixtures.
