They do need oil in them, and a way to trap the oil that blows by (a water trap works just fine). As far as engine driven compressors go, the York 210 is a much better option (as I've been told) but I do not know the pros and cons. I believe the Sandens have more blow by, but I'm not really sure. What I do know is that I have been around electric compressors, and they don't even compare to the York 210 that I have. As with any engine driven compressor, you will need to continually add oil and empty the water trap periodically.
