Default my gun missfired

i was out shooting targets last weekend with my 30-06 and it was fairly cold out about 5-6F. i shot three rounds no problem, and then after about 5 min shot 3 more and all was fine, then after about 10-15 min i went to shoot 3 more and all i got was "click". so i tried another "click" anyways i got two cartridges to fire and had about 8 more clicks. i was told that i had too much oil in the bolt, so i took the bolt apart last night and cleaned it out real good with brake clean and then put oil on the firing pin/spring and wiped the excess off, put it back together and then gave the part of the bolt where the safety is and the bolt lever handle one drop of oil. now i am wondering did i do everthing right and will i have this problem again. one more thing the gun i have is a winchester 30-06 Model 70.
