Besides DA issues:

The "oil" may help with piezoelectric effects by displacing any air between plates and adding mass.

We have had problems with Class 2 ceramics at work being piezoelectric enough that you can see the vibration frequency in the RF output to the antenna. The Class 1 ceramics didn't have the problem, but were bigger and more costly.

I've also run into issues with the high CV product Class 2 ceramics where there is both a very strong drop in capacitance with applied voltage and the aging rate (drop in capacitance with time) is higher than the lower CV product Class 2 ceramic capacitors.

Play safe and play longer! Don't be an "OUCH!" casualty.
Unplug it, discharge it and measure it (twice) before you touch it.
