I used 2 different grades of oil in these because there glass and wont leak. If your display is in a heated area I would think water and a food coloring may work.

Why not just use oil? Make sure your spouts and caps have a good fit and keep your display out of reach of curious lookers.
And, if you need a quick fill for the lawn mower or snow blower--------

Normal oil bottles like Steven has feature a neck size the same as a standard Ball canning jar.

Therefore, you can use a standard quart canning lid inside the spout to seal the oil in the bottle.

That way, if somebody picks one up, or tips one, the oil will not leak.

Later . . .

it was fully my intent to make gaskets for the bottle to protect from spill. But thanks for this idea Jim!!!
