A compressor assembly is provided including an inlet bearing and an outlet bearing. A rotating compressor member is support for rotation on an inlet end by the inlet bearing and on an outlet end by the outlet bearing. A plurality of connecting passages is configured to supply lubricant to the inlet bearing and the outlet bearing. A first lubricant flow path is arranged downstream from a pressure reducing orifice. The first lubricant flow path is fluidly coupled to at least one of the plurality of connecting passages. At least a portion of the first lubricant flow path is arranged in a heat exchange relationship with a hot gas in discharge port such that the lubricant within the first lubricant flow path increases in viscosity.
