Default Oiling air tools

Awl --

OK, now that I'm in air-jitterbug heaven, I think I need an oiler, right?
And I happen to have an FRL (filter regulator lubricate??) ditty, which I
plumbed with quick connect on one end, and the male on the other, so I can
basically stick it anywhere.

My Qs a

Should this FRL ditty be as close to the tool as is practical? Mebbe the oil
part right on the tool??
It seems to me that if I put it too far way, it's just going to oil up
boucou black pipe and hose.

What oil do I put in there, and how do I know what the "feed rate" is?

If one does not have one of these oilers, can you use the tool and
occasionally drop some sewing machine oil or sumpn in the air inlet? At
what intervals?

I'm surprised these tools don't come with big warnings, USE OIL. Do some
not need oil??

My buddy, who gave me the Dynabrade jitterbug, has used it for a number of
hours with no oil, seems to still run OK. Do you think much wear/damage was
done?
