Yes, a good regulater and a water separator right after the compressor.
Drain drops plumbed down past each outlet except maybe the fill the tire 
outlet outside.
I don't like those se;f oilers because they seem to use a lot of oil.
A drop in the tool every 5 hrs of operation is all you need.
I had an oiler, my air ratchet was squirting oil all over.
Mini regulators are OK where you need them, powder coater gun, tire 
fill, blow gun sometimes. But those are the things that leak becuse of 
where they come from, yeah made to somebodys specs but they read from 
right to left and from the back of the book to the front so everything 
from there is back asswards. do NOT use one of those cheapie regulators 
at the compressor. And do put in couplings so you can replace it later.
