Here's an Oil Spot for ^9, although I've taken to ^10 and its gorgeous.
I've fired this in oxy, and don't know how it'll look in redux. From Greg
Daly's Glazes and Glazing Techniques:

Potash (Custer) Feldspar 40
Whiting 10
Talc 10
Silica 30
Kaolin (I use EPK) 10

Add: Iron Oxide (I use RIO) 10

Apply thickly (1/8" to 1/4"). Best dipped for even coverage.

Good luck!

I have had very good results with the following recipe in producing Oil
Spot. fired to cone 9 on porcelain in oxidation. Reduction is not
necessary for Oil Spot.
You can get some idea of what I get from the pictures on my web site.
Click on Oil Spot.
I have nothing to offer on hares fur.
If you do try this recipe, I would appreciate it if you were to let me
know what materials you use, your firing details and the results you
get.

Oil Spot recipe ref:- HAE8

Nepheline Syenite 150
China clay 350
Whiting 80
Talc 80
Quartz 340
Red Iron Oxide 80
____
1080

My analysis of his recipe is:-

K2O .04 Al2O3 .98 SiO2 6.15
Na2O .14 Fe2O3 .29
CaO .46
MgO .36

Apply the glaze thickly. Fire to cone 9 oxidation and soak for 15 to 30
minutes.
Precise firing will no doubt depend on your particular kiln, its size,
rate of temperature climb at top temprature etc., but I am sure you will
know about all this and the differences you can get between one kiln and
another. The firing is important to produce good oil spots. The results
I have shown have been produced in a small electric kiln, a Cromartie
CTL75 on Potclays 1149 porcelain.

This appears to me to be durable at cone 9 or 10 in both oxidation and
reduction - RR
