Mazda 3 Oil Pumps & Parts

An automotive internal combustion engine is a complex mechanism consisting of a number of components, and an oil pump is a part whose performance is of vital importance. The main task performed by the pump is creating oil pressure whose value should be sufficient for any working mode, be it idling or hard acceleration with the tach hitting the red zone. If the pump suddenly fails, the oil pressure indicator immediately lights up, and you have just a few seconds to shut down the motor to avoid catastrophic damage.

Fortunately, such surprises are quite rare, and most oil pumps available on the market feature a durable gear or gerotor design making the assembly serve for years to come. However, in some situations, the pump may need attention, especially if there have been the issues or recalls related to this part in your engine model. Anyway, if you're going to remove the oil sump of your Mazda 3 to repair something, checking the pump never hurts. In some cases, it makes sense to replace its chain, sprocket, drive gears, or the whole assembly to reduce the risk of potential malfunctions. An assortment of Mazda 3 oil pumps and related products is available in our store.
