also got one almost exactly like that (fujima 2hp 24L). oil lubricated, i fill it with mag1 non-detergent. incredibly noisy i've been using it for several years now. plasma cutting, sand blasting, etc. heavy duty tasks.

btw if you don't need the high pressure (required for sand blasting) you might want to opt for the vespa 1/4 HP. belt driven so it's reasonably quiet. those things last forever. i used to have one
