Is it better for a reciprocating compressor to have its own lubrication tank, or should there be a separate tank?

This is the new reciprocating compressor that our company has acquired recently. It differs from the previous models in that those earlier models had a separate lubricating oil tank, which was located right inside the compressor body, with a screw pump attached to the shaft end. Please talk about their advantages and disadvantages

Built-in fuel tanks have limitations, while external high-mounted fuel tanks offer more flexibility.
Compressors equipped with their own oil pumps have an auxiliary oil pump, which should be turned on first to supply oil before starting the compressor. Once the host is turned on, it comes equipped with an oil pump that generates a certain pressure to assist in stopping it.
