I saw videos that olive oil works, is that true? What else can work?
You should of used mineral oil since it has an eternal shelf life. Olive oil (or any vegetable oil) will go rancid within a few months because there is no airtight seal... it's not forcing the screen protector to curve against the glass. It's merely filling the gap in between, so there is air hitting the oil on the edges.
I'd take the screen protector off. I haven't used one in years, I also haven't had a scratched or broken screen in many years either. Screen glass technology has made overpriced screen protectors an even bigger waste of money.

I agree. I have never used a screen protector, other than the built-in one on my Otterbox Defender I used on my iPhone 5. I've used my 6s Plus for 28 months without a screen protector. No issues. I do use a good protective case with the Otterbox Commuter.
which mineral oil can I use?
Baby Oil is mineral oil, but it also has fragrance. If you live near a Walmart, try the Equate brand. There's no fragrance or colorant in it. Should be under 4 bucks for a 16 oz bottle.
If I leave the halo effect, does dust and lint go inside easier? The reason I don't want to take this one off is that for first time There is no lint or dust within the active part of the LCD screen.... Best buy assured me that dust and lint wouldn't go inside the gap is still too small for them to go inside just wipe screen with cloth or canned air... I can live with the halo effect if it comes back But did the oil thing cause was afraid dust and lint can go inside... Anyone out there with halo effect?? I am done going through screen protectors so I am trying my best to live with this for now and maybe in a year or so I can go with no screen protector and just a case.... I have applecare so maybe in my 2nd year I'll use a claim, but wondering if anyone can live with a halo effect..
Zaggs are known to have the halo effect. I won't even touch those.

Where did you buy this phone from? Did you buy your phone new, refurbished or used? The phone that you brought into Best Buy, was it a phone that was replaced by warranty or insurance claim by chance? My guess is that the phone you brought into Best Buy did not have the OEM original screen and was either purchased refurbished, purchased used, or a refurbished device that was replaced through Warranty or Insurance.
Agree. The Zaggs are way overpriced.
