Worth checking out Machine Mart too. They have a good range. Have just invested in one of the Tiger ones myself.
As to couplings I'm still working that out. All I can say it that it's easy top buy incompatible ones!
I find the coiley hose that came with mine a pain and will probably ditch that in favour of some normal hose. Oil was supplied with my compressor and, whilst you can buy compressor oil I don't see why VX semi wouldn't do the job. I can't imagine any special properties are required. It's a piston engine that runs without fuel after all.
