Is it of any safety concern?

Thanks very much for your reply.
But is there any also technical reason for not pouring lubricant oil? Because during transportation, pressure changes so frequently, does that pressure change has also effect?
Appreciate your urgent response.
Thanks very much.

Another technical reason is that you will probably want to assess cleanliness of the lube oil system before the equipment is commissioned. It is impossible to perform inspection and flushing of a system that is filled with oil. Unless you drain the oil, which brings you back to square one. Secondly, the oil itself can get contaminated if the lube oil system has not been properly cleaned.

Thanks for your response.
During transportation, sloshing can also be occur? will that sloshing can damage the bearings of pump or sump of pump?

And the when re-installed people may assume that there is oil in it (because it is dripping all over) when there is not enough.
