Excess oil will eventually be consumed /blown out of gun, however if you store the gun over-nite with air inlet pointed down, gravity will assist. I find that oil /water will accumulate inside gun especially if compressor is passing oil and/or weather conditions cause system to produce lots of water. Majority of guns that come in for repair suffer from a lack of lubrication. Several drops at start of day should be ok for oil lubricated compressors and maybe more for oil-less. If oil drips out of gun overnight (if stored as stated above) then reduce drops. What actually shortens life of gun is debris that enters gun from handling and that enters hoses during transport. Before connecting air hose to gun (with hose under pressure) momentarily connect a spare quick connect fitting and blow debris out of hose.
If the hose is screwed into the gun then you are lucky because you only have to replace the hose, but if the hose is clamped inside of the hose then you have to replace both the hose and the gun
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS FOR EACH GUN
* Air nozzle, needle and tips
* Packing and gaskets
* Hoses and fittings
* Gauges
* Proper lubricants
* Filter screens
* Diaphragms for pressure regulators
