Oil pump failure 😞
Had oil pump failure today at 12,898 miles. Car is an 18 built in aug 2017 in normal city traffic driving. My question is, how many of you had this failure and had the oil pump replaced with out any damage to the engine. Metal is my concern and I will know a lot more in next week or so but on the off chance the dealership only wants to replace oil pump, is that the smartest thing. Does a oil pump going down always require a new engine? I’d love to hear your experiences with this issue and what the dealership did for you? Car was only driven about a 1/10 of a mile after the failure
Second question, does the newer GM pumps fix the issue. My dealership does not want to authorize a katech pump in place of OEM under warranty… |
my pump crapped out at idle and it was fine. Engine was not damaged.

Don't worry. I bet you will be fine. But while you are at it, you could add some cams if you want to mod the car. I bet other will pitch in soon. My car had it replaced and i haven't had any issues. It's been like 2k miles Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk |
That’s excellent news. I’m hoping Oil Pumps won’t be on back order either

I have a 2017 SS. Bought it used last year. Carfax showed it had the oil pump replaced at 10K miles. Car is now at 47K. Runs great, no problems.

If you wanted the Katech installed your most likely going to have to bypass the warranty process. |
Hopefully a clean break and no metal throughout. I will know more hopefully soon. The dealership said they don’t know much about this issue and have never seen one. I hope they don’t jerk me around. Is there an actual TSB out on this yet

Theres a TSB about it and the timing chain tensioner spring which could be the cause. PIP5407A I believe is the TSB. and here https://gm-techlink.com/?p=12041 |

No engine swap was necessary. This was about 7000 miles ago. Car runs great. |
