New fascia board with lots of knots. I had already primed it with 2
coats of Kilz Premium, but a painter told me that it would be best to
put an oil primer on because the knots will bleed through and stain the
finish at some point in the future.

Should I go over it with oil and should I use oil on any subsequently
replaced new fascia?

Thanks.

He's right and yes...I'd also select clear material for trim in the
future (even at the burden of paying the premium for it).

The purpose of Kilz is to hide the stains. Clear for fascia board?

I hope you're kidding.

But the real intent of Kilz is mildew and an oil primer will do far
better for preventing seep-thru of pine pitch.

And, I said (and was thinking) "trim" rather than just a fascia board.
But even there, I'd still make a real effort for at least 1C rather
than run-of-the mill whatever comes out of the big-box stack...

OK, I did some checking. From the Kilz web site:
To block tannin stains:

KILZ Exterior, or KILZ Premium primers

KILZ Premium primer can be used as a tannin sealer and undercoater on all
types of exterior wood. NOTE: Because of the variances in wood substrates,
even multiple coats may not stop tannin or resin stains on all wood surfaces
and knots.

Even clear for interior trim to be painted gets pricy. You do have to use
some care at the big box stores though. They do have some real crap.
