Did I purchase the wrong type of mineral oil? How does Vitamin E effect the metal.
I am wondering, should just the excel oil into the blade to penetrate into the metal with a cloth until it is dry?

I don't think Vit E is going to do anything or react with your blade. Not sure what else is in it though. I wouldn't worry too much but if you're losing sleep over it just wash it again and get a plain mineral oil, or as Alan mentioned, Singer brand machine oil.
As for application just use a small, flat tipped paint brush to give it a light coat.
