Dunno if its right but its what I do.
Only a few of my air tools have oil ports.
I bought a pint of air tool oil when I got my compressor.
It should last about 15 years at the current rate.
I cut off the bottle's snout and put a small diameter clear plastic
tube on it. I just squeeze a couple drops into the air tool's
inlet before I hook it up.
