Clobber is correct. Bats usually have a bit of oil in it during the manufacturing process, so not oiling when we receive it is not really a problem.
Knocking the edges carefully and the toe end of the bat is more important when you get a bat than oiling. Do as Clobber said and everything will be fine. I have a bat, no oil ever touched it, edges and face after a year is still as good as ever. |

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

Just run it in carefully - knock it in for a couple of hours with a bat mallet or a ball in a sock, then have a few nets against older balls.
