There isn't any downside at that point - while they probably get lynched by the oiler fans that night, they also will provide 100% of the data they could get using their power. It would be a shame for that data to die with them by mistake. Even one oiler fan identified it might be worth it...
Yes, if the moderator has found both findable Oilers fans they should definitely reveal it. Why was that even a question? You clearly understood this to be correct, with the correct rationale too boot.

You did make a mistake in saying there is no point in revealing villager checks. That is still good info, and the moderator themself being town can become good info as well.

I am not certain the exact threshold where a reveal should be made in this setup, but it is a given that there is one. Almost certainly we should not be making a lynch-or-lose vote without a revealed moderator.
