It can be quite serious if Sarah ate oil. Cooking oil is very high in fat, which can lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is fatal without treatment, and requires intensive hospitalization to treat. If she ate motor oil, it can be toxic in large enough amounts. If Sarah ate oil, I would take her into the vet immediately. The vet can determine the appropriate treatment based on the the of oil eaten.
