Just buy a quantity of inexpensive trigger bottles & ditch them when they stop pumping.
We used to use WD40 / Duck Oil / AC90 from bulk containers via the supplied trigger bottles at work, but the pumps always failed. This seemed to be due to pumping petrochemical products, which appeared to kill the pump seals - and this was on the branded pump bottles supplied with the bulk containers of fluid. I just replaced the duff ones with the least expensive bottles from Kennedy / Zoro, which didn't seem to last worse than the ones supplied by the dewatering oil suppliers.
Cheaper long term protection for parts that don't get hot is to mix about 10% clear Waxoil with the dewatering oil of your preference before applying using a pump bottle. The Waxoil doesn't affect the viscosity much so it sprays easily, but when the dewatering oil evaporates off it leaves a fine coating of Waxoil behind. This is easily removed with a cloth dampened with dewatering oil, or a degreaser like Jizer. That was my prefered solution for rust prevention in a machine shop for the Xmas shutdown, where the shop was unheated for up to 10 days at a time of year where the temperature could vary quite a bit - very cold machine tools "sweat" badly when the air temperature increases & flash rust very quickly if not protected.
