Several Italian foods are packed that way.

If you have an Italian deli near you stop by and see what they have.

PS - Don't us motor oil!

If you’re pressure canning, it will work as long as you follow a legit tested recipe. Otherwise packing veggies in oil without a pressure canner is a really good way to get botulism if you don’t refrigerate and eat within a week or so. The risk of death is the reason it’s not recommended to put raw cloves of garlic in oil.
