We want to clean some massage oil residue off of the wood floor (urethane coated) in one of our rooms. Any suggestions on the best stuff to use?

I'm not sure what product would be best for removing your oil residue but sealed wood floors can generally be cleaned with any detergent/cleaner you would use on other floors - just don't soak the wood. Wood floors are damp mopped all the time.

I'll move this post to cleaning and stain removal - hopefully you can get a better answer there.

Mix 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1 gallon of water for general cleaning of wood floors. Damp mop with mop squeezed nearly dry. Clean a section at a time. Toss an old towel on the floor to dry and remove streaks before moving on to the next section. To remove oil use a mild detergent and water and buff dry.
