Default Glue syringe to repair a split?

I assembled a face frame with pocket screws and decided to take the easy
way out and pocket-screw the frame onto the plywood cabinet. This was
successful, except that the oak 1x2 split at one end. I took the
offending screw out and the wood went back together well enough that
it's hard to see, but I'd like to repair it so it won't break off later.

I was wondering if I could clamp the area, drill a hole up into the
split and inject some sort of glue. I see someone has tried this, but
without drilling:

Any ideas? If this is possible, advice on the type of glue and syringe
would be helpful.

By the way, in fits and starts, I've made some progress on the CD
Shelves project:
