ps. was that the right use of an Oxford Commer?
Probably superfluous use of the Oxford Comma. Normally in a list, you separate items with commas except between the last two, when you use 'and'. However, where there might be confusion between 'ands' eg if you had something like 'Twist and Go' in your list, you could be an extra ('Oxford') comma in before the and. There are actually far fewer absolute rules in English than you might think.

Is Oxford Comma a special type of oil?

Didn’t do that well at English in school and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
