Did the 2013 SS have oil pump failures?
Looking to buy an LS3 car, really trying to find a 2013 for the upgrades.
If I do find a low miles '10, '11 or '12 is there an increased risk of oil pump problems? Thanks! |

All year LS3's have the same risk. Typically above 12k miles the risk is much lower but the odds are pretty low to begin with. Buy a car and enjoy it, every engine by every manufacturer can fail if a component breaks.

With that low of mileage I would not be worried about having oil pump failure. Any oil pump on any vehicle can fail. If you are that concerned about it why not purchase an LS3 Camaro and upgrade to a heavy duty oil pump? It is not that hard to replace a oil pump on an LS3 but involved.
