I personally have never had any swelling from any IM injection, and that includes about 30 taps of each glute and about 30 others (quads, pecs, delts, bis, tris) so far. Plenty of soreness, though.
If you hit a blood vessel I suppose a hematoma is possible, though I injected through a vein in my pec (figured it out afterwards - very painful, but evidently I was through the other side as nothing aspirated) and had a huge bruise, but even then no swelling.
Are you sure you were deep enough? If the oil went SQ or into the fat, not really the muscle, maybe you could have a bubble for a while.
