Bought some new points and know I have to remove that oil from inside the point in order to get a good bond.

The easiest way is soak them in alcohol or acetone.  For field points I just heat them up good first to burn off the oil but you don't want to do that with broadheads.

I've soaked them in a soup can with a bit of gasoline, then hot water and Dawn dish soap.
