“butter the pan” is a cooking term, I wonder if I can use “oil the pan” to mean that I use cooking oil to oil the pan? or oil as a verb is only used in machines?
Thank you!

Yes, you could say ‘oil the pan’. But it’s more common to say something like, ‘Add some oil to the pan’.
Nay, spreading a coating of oil on a pan to prevent sticking would very commonly be called “oiling the pan”. I commonly oil my cast iron camp cookware after cleaning to prevent rust and to maintain the seasoning.
Yes you’re correct. “Hey James, do us a favour and oil that pan will you ?”
