About the only plastic bottle that I've found handy to put oil in, is the
oom Spout bottle with the extension tube in the cap tip.

I've had one of these for a couple of decades, which usually has ordinary
engine/motor oil in it.
I've used one in the past for just dispensing air tool oil.
The threaded portion of the cap can become weak with time, but putting a
metal band around the threaded portion (or even a miniature hose clamp) to
keep the thread diameter from expanding.

I recently found some of these bottles at a Ollie's discount/clearance
store, filled with Pennzoil Pennzbell oil in it (bright yellow bottle, hard
to missplace). This oil seems to be a very good all purpose oil, and I've
been oiling fractional HP electric motor bushing-type bearings with it, with
no problems.

The zoom spouts have proven to be a really useful feature over the years.

My furnace man left one on my porch when he finished a service call.
