After the break, Robert Atkinson rose highest at the far post to draw Oxford level, but an unmarked Jerry Yates then thrashed his shot past Jack Stevens to restore the Tangerines' four goal advantage overall.
With 15 minutes remaining, Olamide Shodipo diverted a close range shot in to make it 3-3, but United couldn't mount an unlikely comeback, as they now face another season in the third tier.
Lee, who scored six goals in 20 games for the U's since joining in February, will see what his future holds at Kenilworth Road when he returns to Luton, boss Nathan Jones already seeing long serving duo James Collins and Matty Pearson leave the club this week.
