Yes, it should be "they were too oily". (As for that unforgivable pun, it should be "it was too oily in the day". :))

Corrected! Haha Thanks

You're welcome. Looks like the comment with the pun has disappeared. :(

I don't understand the pun. :(

In some English accents, "oily" sounds like "early".
