The oils from handling, from the sodium in your skin oil, is highly 
conductive.  Xmfr oil, the immersion oil, is highly non-conductive.  In 
summary, if you don't remove the conductive oil it may remain on or slightly 
imbedded in the plate or dielectric material.  Best to strip it all off 
before immersing the cap in insulating oil.

I agree with Gary --- MMC caps are a much better approach than messing with 
home rolled caps.
