without looking at your clarinet directly somebody would be hard pressed to suggest that action was required. if you perceive a problem, you might consider contacting the dealer from whom you bought the clarinet, or alternatively, drop Francoise Kloc a note at the B & H IL Distribution Center.
FWIW ... It is the opinion of a number of highly regarded
clarinet repair technicians that excessive oiling can lead to CRACKS. From what I have read, Buffet gives the wood a good soaking in the manufacturing process. On the other hand, there have been some lengthy discussions from others here on the thread who believe that frequent oiling is good.
Trust a repair technician who (if possible) is acquainted with your particular instrument or who has a great deal of Woodwind experience.
I had an overhaul done by Brannen Woodwinds about 2 months ago and Mr. Brannen did not oil my R-13, which at the time was just a little over two years old. I live in Oklahoma where humidity can be a problem, although we certainly don't suffer the extremes of other climates.
good luck.
