You guys got me worried so I'm going to test it after it dries by filling one of the cavities with oil for a couple of days and make sure the finish doesn't soften.

Thanks for the warning.

Henry,

I suspect you'll be OK if you used an oil based paint made for machinery. The exterior of machinery gets all types of oil on it and it doesn't ruin the paint job.

I ran a test on the interior finish. I filled a cavity in the lid with the oil and let it sit for 24 hours. There was no change in the paint. It did not soften or change in any way. I think I'm good to go.
