When the IP is moving plenty of Oil gets splashed around to lubricate the parts above the Oil Level.

I'm surprised to read that.
My experience (which is most definitely less than yours!) is that the oil shoots through the intermediate shaft with some impressive force. I found this out the hard way whilst arsing about (playing) with my engine with the IP off. I cranked by hand and then wondered where all the oil was coming from - there was shed loads of it all over the place and I'd only turned the crank about three times.
