Hey Benjamin, Looking at the pads, I would start by cleaning them with alcohol or acetone and then rub them over 240 grit sandpaper until all the glazing is gone and they look uniform again. You also need to clean the rotors with the same stuff because the oil has been transferred to them also. Do all that and make sure you use clean rags or paper towels so you don't just spread the oil around. With that done, use a little water and bed them in. Do not lock up the brakes or overheat them. Lots of easy rolling stops. As they bed in the noise will stop and the braking power will increase.
