I see Oils in treasure tables, and I see oils in the NPC Codex.
Where are magic oil rules? How do you make them? How do they apply? I've been digging and cannot find any rules.
Magic oils are potions that work on objects. They follow exactly the same rules as potions, except you smear them on (same action as drink potion) instead of trying to force your sword to drink one.

Rules for magic oils are in the Magic Items - Potions section of the core rulebook, pages 477-478.
You make them using the Brew Potion feat.
Applying an oil is a standard action to smear the oil on the target (note, throwing does not work) or a full-round action to apply an oil to an unconscious creature. The person applying the oil is the caster and the thing receiving the oil is the target. Despite some wording in this section, you can apply an oil to a creature if the spell can target creatures.
