The compressors that are used in aeration systems for ponds are oilless...... I won't recommend using an oiled compressor.

Check into the diffuser CFM operating range if you are doing a DIY system. Also, don't run a lot of air pressure to the diffuser. Typcially all that is required is 3/4 psi or slightly less per foot of water depth at the diffuser location.
