IIRC, once you put the oil on, it stays on until you use the Appearance Alteration Coupon again, after which the oil effects disappear.
So if you want the oil to stay on, you need to make sure that the skin color/eye color/etc. are ABSOLUTELY what you want for your character when you apply it.
RISE gave us new scrolls that're good substitutes for the nuclear r7s (Petite to Subdued and Sparkling to The Dead, for example). We also got the much needed "No booms for r8 and below" update.
However, the three major things that I've seen universally agreed upon ruined the game could use a serious rollback: +20 (the F*** were they thinking), raids (while stability is nice, I kinda miss the 8-man aspect. Also not a fan of major steamrolling, either), and Add. DMG.
Seriously, in all honesty, the previous two could stay if the AD were reverted back to normal. It is INFURIATING when you're on your A game, dodging and attacking, making the most out of your character's abilities, and yet you only end up with about 10-12% because your AD is trash; meanwhile, some nubcake who facetanks everything and kisses concrete 75% of the raid gets that 40+% because he has a +15.
