If you buy unspiced oils, normally there are no preservatives added. 
Pure oils degrade only slowly by oxidation.

If you want to put preservatives in some spiced oil yourself, I would 
guess that the largest problem would be to find some oil soluble 
preservative at all. Not that I am at all sure, but the usual food 
preservatives that you can buy, like potassium sorbate, sodium 
benzoate etc... aren't they just water soluble?
