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.
Suzuki
The Suzuki Motor Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive and motorcycle manufacturer, established in 1909, over 100 years ago.
How popular is Suzuki in the United Kingdom?
Possibly better known as a leading motorcycle manufacturer, the cars from this marque are becoming a well-known household name in UK motoring. The Suzuki Swift and Suzuki Vitara have made a real impact on UK drivers, being responsible for over half of the 408k Suzuki models on the roads today.
Good value small city cars and SUV driving
Suzuki’s success has been dependent on their provision of small, well-priced cars that offer excellent value and good fuel economy. They offer a selection of city cars and small hatchbacks, with added hybrid fuel options for green drivers and those who want further economy from their motoring.
It’s possibly the Vitara, Ignis and the SX4 S-Cross SUV and crossover models that are making the most impact for this brand, despite not achieving quite the same impressive sales figures as the Swift.
Suzuki provides great technology for budget brand cars
For cars at their price-point, Suzuki crams in a lot of tech. The Vitara, for example, comes with Suzuki’s Boosterjet turbocharged engine and Allgrip 4-wheel drive system for performance, and a host of additional technology for drivability.
It also incorporates driver assistance features such as a lane departure warning that includes visual signals and a vibrating steering wheel, cruise control and fully integrated smartphone connectivity—features you’d tend to expect to find on much higher priced vehicles.
The Suzuki SHVS hybrid system
In the current climate where ecology and green motoring has become prevalent, the ‘Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki’ advanced driving system reduces CO2 emissions and lowers your running costs. What Suzuki has done here, is create a lighter and smaller system than the standard hybrid arrangement. Combine that with their cars’ lightweight chassis and nimble performance, and the efficiency becomes even more impressive.
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.
