The boiler I have is a very old United States Radiator Corporation cast iron boiler from the 50s
Most of the older boilers have an access panels that unbolt so you can replace the fire brick and blow out the heating chamber with compressed air and a hepafilter vacuum. The metal jacket might have panels screwed to the sides and top to indicate where the cast iron or combustion access is. If you remove any parts, make sure you seal them up to avoid air leaks. This is a tricky job and if any parts break, you will have a hard time finding them
your best bet is to call the oil company and have them come out and clean it for you.
Search oil boilers on internet, or get a Time-Life book on it or something. Too involved to explain step by step here. If you are not confident with it, call the furnace repair company.
