From what I Understand as a SDA Christian, baptism is used by water not oil.
Baptism signifies that you are repenting for your old ways and starting a new life with Christ Savior. By being immersed by water you are washing away the dirt and sin of your past life and when you come up you have started your new life with Christ.
" I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier thain I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire" ( Matthew 3:11).
Those who get baptized should be doing so because they have accepted Jesus in their hearts and want to follow and serve him the rest of their life. This act of obedience is a public display of your love for God the father, the son and the holy spirit.
Oil on the other hand, is a practice in which some churches use to aid in the healing of the sick only because of biblical referencing :
"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up" ( James 5:14)
