This has nothing to do with oiling the tool. It was most likely caused by a worn drive pin that you should slightly sharpen, (Squared off to hit the nail head flat) or replace all together.
Remove all air lines from the tool. Find a Drift Pin that is similar in size (but smaller) than the tool's drive pin.
With the tool upside down on a slightly padded workbench and the business end of the tool facing UP, I would use a mallet and drift pin to drive the DRIVE PIN, (not the nail) back into the reset position. (Back into the air cylinder) The nail will not follow the drive pin & when done, the nail should fall out, or be removable with pliers.
Good Luck!
