I think the atomized oil will make it 10', although it's recommended that a oiler be placed directly in front of the device to be lubricated.
I have other thoughts on this setup....a oiler in a air line in a home shop or hobby environment is bad news. At some point in time something will get attached to that line that you certainly don't want oil in. It might be a spray gun or it could be a DA sander that spews oil all over your freshly sanded hood.
Air tools don't require lots of lube. I always stick a couple of drops of oil into the quick connect each time I use a tool. This way I can determine when the tool get oiled and avoid any surprises...as they say, my two cents.

Stuart | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 33 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 33 | that is how i was doing it, just dropping a few drops of oil at quick coupling and go to work, but i heard from some people you need lubricator for air tools so i rigged this up. i think i will it hooked up but not put in any oil in it. after i did a lot of work on the cart and i do need filter and regulator but don`t want to mess up anything with oil

I did no body work and needed maximum power output from my air tools. This worked great but the air hose developed an oily coating on the outside. I had to replace the anvil on my CP749 impact wrench after a couple years of HARD use and I was amazed to find the lack of wear in the air motor area--no scratches or galling anywhere and the vanes looked brand new.
I would run the oil mister and just use a different hose when painting. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | I have a mister in line to a RED 20' line and a clean line run in Blue 20' ....I have a sighn over the airlines ...red is Oily blue is clean ...took me a bit to teach the boys that ...but it works for us | | |
