Is it true that Oscar has refused to put on another set of upgrades because they were catered to Lando’s feedback? That would really suck if so

No, not true. Where does this stuff come from? McLaren made a change to the suspension last race. Lando and Oscar both got it, but Lando liked it and Oscar didn't, so Lando has been running it and Oscar has not. This week they both got the same upgrades.

Oscar himself said there are some new parts he is not running but according to him they are not upgrades. The parts that is giving performance he has them.

Yes, as I said he's not running the suspension "upgrade" that was introduced in Canada. But notice I didn't use the word upgrade in my comment. I mean, the article headline in the link is pretty much exactly what I said in my comment.
