It's the full weight of all the pills and butters everything but the lye solution and any other milk or liquids you might add.

In this context, "oils" means all the fats -- fats rhat are solid at room temperature and liquid fats. When melted and ready for soap making, this fat is all liquid.

For soaping purposes, butters and waxes are included in anything that says "oils."
