If you add a "luber" to the air system it must be compatible with the 'O'-rings and seals in the system especially the "brake booster" or you will have problems. No truck or bus that uses air brakes or air-assist brakes has ever had a "luber" on the air-system for this very reason. I agree with the water-separator ( I have a Bendix AD9 on mine) but I would never install a "oil luber" on it.Use the manual handle as needed. I am going to be putting an air/water separator / luber on my air system. The oil helps keep all those little motors, gizmos, and thinga-ma-jigs moving freely. The water removal benefits should be obvious. Have done this on every vehicle with an air system I have ever had. IF things have been sitting a while it is a great idea to clean and lube them first.
