It won't take much oil, but since you just got it, drop the oil and refill with an SAE 30 weight. Depends on the environment, moisture and heat / cool cycling and if its a heavy daily use or not, thats basically what you have to judge when or how often to change. If you're particular about your stuff and that compressor doesn't have any oil leaks, you might consider a synthetic oil.
125 psi is OK. Snug the headbolts too.
Out for the day and have fun in the shop
