Oil Pump & Kits

An oil pump circulates oil around vital parts of your engine. With a huge range of products available at rock-bottom prices, you are sure to find the right oil pumps and kits for your vehicle at Car Parts 4 Less.

There are many different types of oil pump. Trochoid pumps use rotors, vane pumps use a rotor inside a cavity, and plunger pumps use suction to control oil flow in some smaller engines. No matter what method it uses, the job of your pump is to force oil to flow at high pressure around the camshaft, pistons and bearings. These moving parts generate a lot of heat, so they need this oil to reduce friction and prevent overheating. Oil pump faults will cause a loss in pressure and affect your car’s performance. Faults can be hard to diagnose, but an early sign of failure is a strange tapping sound coming from your engine bay. A faulty pump should also prompt a warning light to appear on your dashboard.
