another related tip: if you wanna keep that moisture out of your lines, start at the source.
blow the tank out completely once a week, or more if it's really humid.
customer of ours has a compressor thats been inservice since 1951, with nothing ever replaced except for two sets of bearings, 5 motors, sand he does the belts every few years.
same head, same tank, even original seals ( i am skeptical of that, but it's his claim)
oilers are fine, but honestly the method mentioned here is fine for most uses, a fews hots of light oil into the inlet every now and then keeps the equipment working fine.
fultime lubrication (imho) isnt necessary, if you take care of your stuff, keep the water out of the system, blows the tanks regularly, and you'd never need such as thing as full time lubrication.
I know others of you might have differents beliefs on this, but to me, full time lube of airtools, is about as useful as dog psycology.
