Most of the things you mentioned are cleaning products. Are you wanting to oil your dry wood or clean it?

The wood surely is not bare unfinished wood, it likely has a finish on it. Depending on what that finish is, it could be dry looking, as old varnishes tended to do. The solution to that would be applying a new fresh coat of varnish (or poly) because that is what the finish on the wood needs.
If the wood has no clear finish, you could apply a Danish finish such as Watco Danish oil.

I want to oil it . Seems like from the 2 weimans and old English have oil ???
Without re staining it what can I try.
it's a new build about 5 years old. Looks like not alot of sealer was applied or the sun has cooked it off

On wood I normally use linseed or tung oil but that's on bare wood where the oil is the finish. I assume your stairs have been stained and sealed.
