All of the old-timers have told me to use marvel mystery oil.
I personally use an air tool oil with the marvel name on it.
My employer doesn't believe in oiling air tools...and we have no water seperator...and we never drain the tank...and sometimes theres a mist coming from our tools when the trigger is pulled.
One of our other techs says he likes to see an oil mist after oiling his tools.
Nobody at the shop has ever broken an air tool due to water contamination.

I'm not saying that water is not bad for air tools, just some food for thought.
