Depends on if it was designed to be that way, I guess?
Thanks Robert, very good real-life input.

Looks like they do make some rotary screw compressors that don't have oil, they use water to cool them instead. Not too common but they are available. Looks like the rotary scroll stuff may be the more "cost effective" oilless high output units for you home shop:-) about 8k vs. 18k for the oilless rotary screws.
