It does not matter to a compressor whether it is Splash or Pressurized lubrication as long as the compressor works with in the designed RPM range. As Splash lubricated compressor works quite well at RPM’s below 1400 RPM. Above that we feel the compressor MUST be pressurized lubrication. Or W31 compressors (Splash lube) runs at 1200 RPM. The W4 compressors (Splash lube) run at 630 to 945 RPM and are very durable. The W32 runs at 1500 RPM and is pressure lubricated. A very important reason the W32 uses pressurized oil system is to place the cooling oil directly where it does the most good.
