Does anyone have a source for a precision refillable oiler and oil. I was buying the little pencil type but they are not refillable and the cost is outrageous compared to buying a container of 3 in 1. I would rather find a good machine oil instead of 3 in 1.

I have been using EXCELLE LUBRICANTS, out of Huntley, Ill. All their various lubes are plastic compatible. Sure they are "only" 1/2 OZ bottles, but each one lasts me MANY years.
In my opinion, I wouldn't use 3 in 1 oil on ANY of my models.
That's my opinion, too. I use an empty LaBelle 107 bottle, refilled with Mobil 1 5-30w motor oil.
I also have a bottle of real 107, for use when plastic compatibility is a concern.
I agree with Balshis, the LaBelle oilers work well. I use Castrol Synthetic oil, 10W40, according to the maker it is plastic compatible, and I have had no trouble over the past 6 years. A quart of the stuff lasts forever, still have half a bottle, even doing repairs for others. I imagine that any synthetic motor oil would have the same good results.
A syringe type bottle and some SAE 10 synthetic oil.
Mr. Ogauge,
I believe the original poster was inquiring about a SOURCE, and not just a photo of the bottle.
Get a hypodermic needle from your doctor, nurse or drug store and synthetic motor oil for cars at Walmart.

I bought a few of these and fill them with synthetic oil: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=needle+oil+bottle&_sacat=0&_from=R40
