Not exactly. Festo requirements for the QS line is air, dry or mixed with a very limited amount of atomised oil. Anything else is out of specs. The max amount of oil is very low.
"Bio oils, max 0.1 mg/m3. Larger amounts may result in premature product failure"
"Mineral oils: 5 mg/m3. A higher residual oil content is not permitted. This can lead to malfunction"
