Yep, oil is used. Turbos can be configured/built to use either. Some modify coolant type turbos for use in oil cooled cars but it's a compromise.
Intercoolers are used, the colder the air the denser it is and the better. But at high altitudes I wonder.
Do you have to be FAA certified to wrench a plane?
