Do not oil the pallet pivots. It will cause complications in time keeping. As you say it causes drag. The pallets have very little movement so oil is not needed.

That jewel is bad. No wonder you were getting poor results. It is quite easy to clean a watch, but finding the faults and correcting them can be difficult at times.

You need to unscrew here (blue arrow) to remove plate (red arrow) slide the plate out and you can then take off the oscillating weight. Some might not have that screw, so you need to use a small screwdriver blade to get under the plate to remove it. With no screw be careful not to bend that plate out of shape.
