I can't for the life of me figure out why in Filters>Stylize>Oil Paint is greyed out, everything else is good. I changed to meet the RGB and went from 16 bit to 8 bit still grey... grrrr, I run on a MAC that is up to date running El Capitan.. Any other ideas? Thanks

Hello. Are you using Ps CC 2017 18.1? Windows or Mac? What is your OS version?

It sounds like you have a systems issue and that you do not have the graphics card installed that is needed for the current Oil Paint filter, for it to run.
Please check the following out:
Note: If your video card does not support OpenCL v1.1 or higher, you may need to purchase an upgraded video card that supports OpenCL v1.1 or higher to gain access to the Oil Paint filter.

I had the same issue and my fix was so ridiculous. I had an adjustment layer selected while looking for Oil Paint and it was, of course, greyed out. Once I selected a layer with some pixels I was able to use it. This just might help someone out there. Good luck!
