As mentioned, the oil is to help remove any metal shavings that get ingrained on the stone's surface. I own a few stones that recommend using either a honing oil or water, and I always use water because once you use oil, you would need to boil the stone to get the oil off of it. Water works just fine. As far as the stone goes, it looks like a kinda cheap one, probably not a very high grit (which you would want when sharpening kitchen knives), I would suggest going on Amazon and picking up one 1''x4'' medium (600 grit) EZE-Lap diamond pocket stone and one super fine (1,200 grit) stone of the same size. Together it will run you less than $30 and will last a lifetime. I have both and they're basically all I use. I would also either buy or simply make a leather strop. I made mine out of a 16 inch length of wood with a 14 inch length of an old leather belt I had lying around. Use epoxy to adhere the leather to the wood, and finally grab some red polishing compound (look for YouTube vids on how to apply the compound and use the strop.) I found that the strop was what made the difference between really sharp and holy snip , this is literally making my arm hair just fall off sharp.

Cleaning a Carborundum stone

From:

http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general-archive/cleaning-carborundum-stone-89621/

ultrasonic cleaner does very well on cleaning stones,makes them look and cut like new

generic oven-cleaner in a covered container (to control evaporation) and left to sit for a few hours, then scrubbed with a nylon brush

pouring laquer thinner on the stone and on a piece of clean cardboard and stoning the cardboard surface. I then wipe off any lint and let them dry.
