I put in one or two drops in my die grinder every day. and rebuild it every 6 months or so. Again, I use it every day and hard. I am a machinist that repairs oil rig equipment, so needless to say my tools get dirty and abused. I would say 1 drop evey time you use a pneumatic. It is just a good thing to do. Just drip it down into the air inlet and run it for a sec. I wouldnt say you need to tear it down and clean it very often, but a good wipe down after every use is a good idea. As soon as you notice something going wrong thats when it is time to go ahead and rebuild. If you wait to long it will get worse and then unrepairable if seal areas get real bad.
