It was well packaged. Did not come with any silicone oil, which I assumed it would. It did come with an applicator bottle though. I ordered silicone oil for it on amazon. 

Look forward to using this. I really like how portable it is and feels like it weighs about 20 lbs. I will update this post as I begin to use it and let you know how it performs. 

By the way, my Yong Heng is still running strong a year later. 
 
Hey Bob,

I bought this lube from Amazon for the compressor. It's pure silicone oil.

It's called Super Lube 56104 Silicone Oil for $7.50 a bottle (4 oz.)

I placed two drops of this oil in the compressor fill port prior to turning it on for the first time. Wasn't sure how lubed it was but the manual states 2-3 drops every 5 fills. Figured I'd start it off right.

I went ahead and followed the directions, plugged it in, plugged my rifle in to the hose, turned the power on, and then pushed the on/off button to start things up. I had already preset my fill pressure using the dial adjuster on the gauge. I watched it closely and my load indicator stayed in the 23-24 range throughout the pump cycle all the way up to 200 bar. Once it filled, the compressor pump turned off but the unit was still on with the fans blowing. I just went ahead and bled the line, then bled the water purge screw on the underneath of the unit, then powered the unit off afterwards. Then I unplugged it to turn it all off. Pretty simple. Worked like a charm.
