my oath of celibacy is on record captain
its so funny she has to point that out to Kirk
She knew Kirk was a horny ladiesman. So actually she was saying to Kirk: try as much as you want, horny man, i took an oath.
I'm just on my way up to Clavius.

It is explained in the novel that having sex with a Deltan can be dangerous or even fatal to a human, hence the need for the oath.
Must have been Gene's ultimate fantasy.

But seriously, Why the heck does she point that oath out, out of the blue like that?

She really doesn't point it out "out of the blue". Kirk and most of the crew already know of the seductive danger of Deltans, so she's only being sensibly pre-emptive in assuaging their worries, i.e., "Don't worry, everybody - my celibacy oath is officially on record. Now let's get down to business."

You didn't notice Uhura going out of her way to announce to the bridge crew that Ilia was Deltan? Would Uhura generally do that for new crew members?
"The new crewman, Chief DiFalco, is en-route to the bridge. Captain, she's...human!"
"The new science officer, Commander Sonak, is en-route to the bridge. Captain, he's...Vulcan!"
"Commander Montgomery Scott is en-route to the bridge. Captain, he's...Scottish!"

I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.
Yes, but us as an audience would not know that Deltans are dangerous to be intimate with. Heck, I have watched nearly episode of TOS and I do not remember that being mentioned anywhere. For all we know she mentioned she was Deltan to explain why she has no hair!

I had no idea either. I like digging up little trivia bits in novels and such, but this is a point that should have been made clear in the film.
shareIt reminds me of Doug Walker's Nostalgia Critic review that Ilia needs to learn about proper social skills when introducing herself.
