Which is why you set it up so that only a short section of "dedicated"
hose (between the oiler & tool) is used, and you NEVER use it with
another section of hose "downstream" (discharge side).
If "a drop of oil every 5 hrs of operation" was all that was needed, no
company/shop would spend the money to install in-line oilers, and
special air tool oil would not be offered.  Sure, you can probably get
away with "a drop of oil every 5 hours", if you don't use air tools that
often or that long.  But, it's so easy and relatively inexpensive to set
up an oiler; why would you not take that extra precaution with your air
tools?

Frank is dead on correct.  There is also one other prob with home or
small
shop using "oiler" set-ups.

Once you use a hose with an oiler that is all it is EVER good for again.
It
IS contaminated and cannot be used to paint or for a blast cabinet.
