Δm is directly proportional to the frequency of the oscillation. (In natural units it is exactly the angular frequency: cos(Δm·t) appears in the decay rate) So indeed Δm=0 means no oscillation. You measure it by essentially counting the number of particle and antiparticle decays as a function of decay-time.

What about charged systems like proton-antiproton? We expect there to be some similarly tiny Δm there, but obviously you can't have FCNC because its no longer neutral?

  Protons and antiprotons must have the same mass under CPT symmetry
