the little zerk fitting is for lubing the hammer mechanism. it takes
grease-gun grease. and indeed, you squirt regular air-tool oil in the
intake - or use an in-line oiler.
the lubing directions in the manual are on page 3, left side. about 2
column inches. not much, i agree. CH oil is fine. i've used Marvel
Myster tool oil and craftsman tool oil (got a quart for a quarter because
the cap was missing).
