The house of Saud wants Kadaffi out. The house of Saud will be very happy to make up for any decrease in Libyan oil flow out of the reserve capacity from Saudi fields if that that would lessen qualms about efforts to overthrow Kahaffi.
Well there's another reason the US would help to overthrow him. The Saudi lobby in Washington is huge. bigger than the Israel lobby.
