The dye is made on an alcohol/oil basis so it soaks in the wook. Pretty much like when applying lemon oil.
And yes, you can still regularly oil the fretboard. You can see the fresh oil shiny board in one of the pics where i'm holding the bare neck.

it soaks in the wood, so it's pretty much irreversible. But i honestly don't know if it'll start fading after intense usage. I hope not
