The black oil stuff was the alien virus that took control of people and eventually turned them into super soldiers. That's how Interpreted it.
That's only half right. The oil did take control of people and made them stronger but it wasn't what turned them into super soldiers. It was actually the alien virus that was meant infect and repopulate the Earth millions of years ago. Then the Ice Age happened and it threatened to wipe out the virus so it lay dormant in petroleum deposits and evolved. Sometime around Roswell is when the aliens first came back and deal was brokered between them and the Syndicate in it's earliest forms to use the virus infested oil to infect the Earth once again. The virus had to be mined and manufactured for the oil and then distributed to the public. If you remember the bees this is how they meant to do it. Genetically altered bees that would spread it with their sting. Most of this is dealt with in the first movie and later, the sixth season. There's one episode in S6 that basically wraps up the alien invasion plot and would have been a good end for the series. After that it just gets convoluted, way more than it already was.
Also, what happened to Mulder's sister is never revealed. That episode (Paper Hearts) gives a little insight into what may have happened to her but it's whole point is to get Mulder to the point where he feels comfortable not ever truly knowing what happened to her. A lot of fans dislike that episode.
