It depends. Sometimes you need it, sometimes you don't.
It only comes up in a series of three items. The comma before the last item is the Oxford comma.
If the last two items could be confused as the same item, you need the Oxford comma to separate them.
Sometimes they are the same item, and adding the Oxford comma there makes it confusing.
