What does an oil pump do?
The purpose of the oil pump is to circulate oil under pressure from the oil pan into the car’s oil circuit. This oil is needed to lubricate parts like the rotating bearings, sliding pistons and camshaft where constant, fluid movement is essential.
Although primarily used for lubrication, pressurised oil also helps to cool parts of the engine where friction can be an issue. Because oil and lubrication are so important to the smooth running of your car, even the slightest dip in oil pressure can have a noticeable effect on the reliability of your car.
Malfunctioning oil pumps can be hard to detect, so you should always have your pump inspected as soon as possible when the low oil pressure light begins to flicker on your dashboard. Your oil pump is an integral part of your vehicle's engine performance, and if it fails it could cause serious damage to your car.
Nissan
The Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer, established over 85 years ago, in 1933.
Currently, they operate as part of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, incorporating two other industry giants under their umbrella operation.
How popular is Nissan in the United Kingdom?
Nissan has always been a popular household name, and recently a bestseller to boot, with around 1.7million vehicles on the UK roads today.
Their introduction to the SUV market happened in 2007 with the Qashqai, and in 2018 it was announced as the 4th best-selling car in the UK.
Stylish well-priced cars for the road, off-road and the track
Nissan’s various sized and styled SUVs are well priced with something for both urban and adventure seeking drivers. The British built Nissan Qashqai has made great waves since its introduction and its smaller compact crossover cousin, the Nissan Juke, isn’t going to be too far behind for long.
Nissan’s latest electric models
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric compact hatchback that is leading the way in this fast-growing and competitive market. It became the world’s best selling electric car in 2014, holding 45% of the all-electric car market.
Nissan’s second zero emissions vehicle is the E-NV200 Combi, a 5- or 7-seater MPV utilising the same technologies as the ground- and record-breaking Leaf.
The Nissan GT-R: true track performance
With increased torque and horsepower, the latest GT-R delivers up to 3.8-litres of twin-turbo V6 performance, an incredibly clean drag coefficient providing more consistent downforce, and utilising Nissan’s Vehicle Dynamic Control to consistently monitor steering and braking, this Nissan technology automatically makes compensations to oversteer, understeer, engine speed and braking to provide maximum performance with minimum effort.
And if you can’t quite stretch to the £80k+ price tag for your performance sports car, then the Nissan 370Z could be a more affordable option starting at the lower base price of £29k.
How often should an oil pump need replacing?
Like most car parts, your oil pump will experience wear and tear and will eventually have to be replaced. In a properly maintained and regularly serviced vehicle, your oil pump should last somewhere between 60,000 and 70,000 miles.
Additionally, there are numerous other reasons why an oil pump might fail and need to be replaced. The most obvious reason is general wear and tear over time. Low engine oil levels can also result in insufficient lubrication which causes issues for the pump. Infrequent oil changes and contaminated oil can also cause the pump to malfunction. Dirt and debris in the oil can wreak havoc on the engine and the oil pump.

The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
Your oil pump is not specifically checked as part of an MOT test, however if the car has low oil levels the tester may issue an advisory.
