The oiling is only meant to preserve the track from the salt water. As any mechanic can tell you though, grease or oil, when contaminated with sand, forms the perfect abrasive which will lead to premature wear.

So unless yor carrier is riding for an extended period on the deck of a ocean borne craft, or you are performing landing drills on the salt water beaches, I would leave the oil off your tracks.
