125 psi is fine. Most tools are rated at 90 psi anyway. As long as your compressor can provide the air volume (cfm) requirement of the tool, the tool is what makes up the difference. In other words, if you find a certain impact gun isn't up to task, you replace the gun, not the compressor. The size of the tank determines how frequently your compressor will run. A smaller tank will empty quicker and run your compressor motor more often. Running more often means more noise more often, resulting in a higher electric bill. True that a bigger tank will take longer to fill, but there are less fill-ups in between. As far as the 1 ounce of oiling procedure, all is not lost. When you oil as per the procedure and drain it, you are not draining all 1 ounce of the oil. There is residual oil remaining on the gears. Think of it this way: is it the same if you were to
a) pour in 1/4 oz of oil and letting the excess blow out the exhaust versus,
b) pouring in 1 ounce, then pouring out the excess and then running it? To me, the amount you pour in is not the determining factor. Between the two scenarios, the amount remaining is the same.
