If you don't already have a micron gauge, get one. Then (if necessary) change the oil in your pump and see how well it does.

My YJ 6cf/m is great. The important thing is that you will be using it a lot so buying something based on price might get you into trouble. I bought this one expecting it to last 20 years.
