There are three reasons for this :

1.) Oil oxidizes.

When it oxidized it loses it flavor.

It becomes rancid and may lose its cooking characteristics.

2.) Oil can become contaminated with foreign objects such as dust if left open.

3.) Oil is really messy when spilled thus it is important to keep it tightly closed.

Answer:

(i) Air, heat and light affect the quality of edible oil, which deteriorates through oxidation (rancidity).

(ii) The oxidation process is greatly enhanced when edible oils are stored in containers that are not air tight and in areas where oil is exposed to air, heat and light.  

(iii) Hence, it is recommended to use air tight containers for storing oil for long time, to prevent it from getting oxidised.
