The oiling is only meant to preserve the track from the salt water. As any mechanic can tell you though, grease or oil, when contaminated with sand, forms the perfect abrasive which will lead to premature wear.
So unless yor carrier is riding for an extended period on the deck of a ocean borne craft, or you are performing landing drills on the salt water beaches, I would leave the oil off your tracks.

Indeed Rob!
Michael, Are there instructions in the manual for removing the oil after the sea voyage? Wondering how they did that. Petrol maybe? Cheers,

Hey Rob & Marc my friends, how about riding in the salt during our nice and long canadian winter roads like i did last winter ? Would that not be similar to a Channel crossing and beach landing in Normandy ? Marc's question about taking it off remains. Cheers.

I have oiled track for storage. Rust doesn't do it any favors either. It is hard on componentry when it is seized.
