It depends.

You might imagine situations in which you would need to add oil to a mechanism in drops. In such a situation you would not add 3.24 drops, you would add, say, 4 or 5 drops. In these situations the amount of oil would be discrete.

On the other hand, the measure of the oil in a tank could be given to some considerable degree of precision. It would not be counted. In this case the amount of oil would be (effectively) continuous.
