I bought an industrial oiler and filter and installed them, the oiler is filled with R134a type compressor oil. Oiler goes on intake side, filter goes on output side. I have the oiler set pretty low and just empty the filter when its getting full.

So far I am the only one besides JP magazine that I've seen do a greased system. my compressor is packed with grease and I have a zirk on the body and give it a few pumps of grease from time to time. I've had zero problems thus far other than my plumping leaks. I personally prefer greased from what I've seen.
