I was thinking.. Since I've read around about guys burning up their compressors most likely from them overheating and not getting enough oil.. To address the oil issue would having to inline oilers help? Not in series but have a a filter > oiler > tee and then have another filter > oiler > connect to tee and then the third side of the tee goes to the intake. Would this be of anyyy help to oil the compressor?

I really dont think that would help because most oilers will provide more than enough oil. I think they burn up just because they were never made too be used this way but the grease fitting mod would probably make it last the longest.

You don't need 2 oilers, just one good one. Most people who burn out their pumps either buy a cheap oiler like this one, or dont have an air tank and pressure switch so their pumps have to work constantly and get burnt out. I used this oiler and filter and have filled up hundreds of tires and my pump is still running strong.

I use this combo http://www.harborfreight.com/air-too...tor-68246.htmland http://www.harborfreight.com/air-too...tor-68227.html adjusted the oiler for a nice steady drip and has yet to fail me.
