James 5: 14,15
Is any sick among you ? Let him call for the ELDERS of the church ; and let them pray over him, anointing him with OIL in the name of the Lord : And the prayer of FAITH shall save the sick, and the Lord SHALL raise him up ; and if he have committed sins, they SHALL be forgiven him.

The oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
And, yes, I know of many pastors who do indeed carry a small vial of oil with them for this very purpose.
Symbolic gestures are often very important for the purpose of conveying the truths they represent.
Jesus spoke in parables. A parable is nothing more than the representation of a greater truth, but it's put in anthrocentric terminology, most frequently agricultural similies.
Yeah, God reveals truths to us in terms of things we're already familiar with, otherwise, there wouldn't be language to express the concepts involved.

The elders at a Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or traditional Anglican church have holy oil.

They do in my church. My husband actually keeps his little vial of oil in the freezer so it doesn't go bad and he knows where it is anytime he needs it.
EDIT: Mich, yes it is. The elders would be anyone who holds the Melchizedek priesthood.
