That's an interesting question especially since there is no mention of any oils in connection with Christian baptism in the Bible. What I think you will find is that some person or church council created the use of oils in connection with baptism. After the church began (Pentecost after the crucifixion), oils in connection with religious services are found one time. In James 5:14 it is mentioned but not in connection with baptism. In fact its use in James is likely a reference to a cultural medical treatment of the day.
Biblical baptism is immersion in water for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38).
