There Must Be Better Way Department: Getting Oil Out of Bottles

How about gluing an oilier into the bottom of the oil bottle cap?  Extra oil on oilier goes back in bottle when you screw cap back on.  no waist.

My only concerns with this solution are that every time you use the oil you open up the opportunity for dust and debris and even the air in the the room to enter the entire bottle of oil and contaminate it or accelerate its deterioration. Also, if you are like me there is a risk that you don't look up properly and get muddled up and put the D5 cap onto the 9010 bottle and contaminate the whole bottle, with oil cups you would only contaminate a small fraction of the 9010 not all of it, and it is easily replaced without tears . Finally, there is the risk of knocking over the bottle, the bottles are less inherently stable than the oil cups and again I fear that in my half awake not paying attention way I would knock over the whole thing.

For me I use syringes, but to be honest I think this is also overkill and could easily revert to using tweezers.

I was wondering if disposable micro pipetts would work.  Smallest I see is 0.2 ml.
