The oil pump is an important part of any engine’s lubrication system, circulating oil around the engine’s components to reduce friction and temperature. Additionally, pressurised oil systems also double as hydraulic systems to power actuators for a range of applications. There are a number of types of pump currently in use, including gear pumps, trochoid pumps, and vane pumps. This means that it is important to identify the type of system used in your vehicle before you consider buying a replacement oil pump.
Ensuring correct oil pressure is maintained during engine operation is crucial to the effectiveness of your oil pump. Most engines should maintain a pressure of 10 psi per 100 revolutions per minute. In most vehicles, the oil pump is located low-down relative to the oil sump in order to avoid the need for priming. Usually, your dashboard should indicate if there is a problem with your oil pump and subsequent drop in oil pressure, however, you may also experience other signs such as clanking noises.
