There's a new Oil Paint effect in Parametric Filters, and it is quite different from the older Oil Paint filter.

 

Your example looks more like Cutout or Posturize, as other posters have said.  There's no reason why you couldn't combine filters either by masking or blend mode.

You didn't ask, but make your layer a Smart Object first so you can edit the filter. If you don't, it will be destructive editing that can't be changed later.

I get no problems when applying Image > Adjustments > Posterize to a Smart Object.

Go to Image >settings and reduce the numbers of colors with Posterize. Around 16 would be good…

it will make the oil filter behave much better; Also do not mark Light at the bottom…

But you will have to set the sky apart to avoid stripes

It covers how to use Generative Fill to create an oil painting (among other) effects.

@34507497 this works on standard Photoshop as well - the tutorial was back when beta was needed.
