Oil paints themselves - primary colors at least - red, yellow, blue, white, black. But a lot of people also get green and brown. But those five are the most essential.
As for the type, there are a few shops around Level 1 that seem to carry supplies. The brand you'll want - it has a silver cap on it. It's easy to spot, and it's the best I've found.
You'll also want a solvent. There's a few different kinds that work, they should be near the oil paints, though. Turpentine is also acceptable, but has a really strong smell and may not be ideal depending on your home and ventilation. It dilutes oil paints, which sometimes you want.
Drying oil, which also should be nearby, is the opposite of solvent.
As for the brushes, check the packaging, some brushes are better for oils than others. I'd get a variety of sizes. Pallet knives, and a pallet, too.
And an easel and canvas, of course.
And, since good brushes can be pretty costly, I'd get a brush cleaner, too.
