No, you’re fine doing it on pasta you’re keeping as leftovers. The oil thing you don’t do is add it to the water while cooking, because it floats on top, does absolutely nothing and just wastes oil.
You are right to do what you’re doing. I like this idea. My fridge spaghetti always sticks together unless it’s mixed with the sauce, your way don’t need no sauce, I likes it.

It doesn’t do absolutely nothing. It breaks the surface tension of the water allowing for it to boil without bubbling over.
It also coats the pasta in a protective layer of oil, preventing the sauce from sticking to it.
If the water spills while bubbling your pot is either too tiny or you should put less water
Oooo, did not know that. Cool.
Exactly! But you don’t have to use olive oil. I put in a few drops of sunflower oil cause it cheap where I live while good olive oil is expensive af
