I need to replace the oil pump in my z6.

I'm figuring the best idea is to go to a dealership and get one, but I am wondering if anyone knows a better (cheaper) solution.

Should I go to my local parts store and get my discounts on one? Or is that one of those "only use oem" sorta parts?

depends on how much money you want to spend. I'm cheap and use old pumps but if you want to go right the first time cant go wrong w/ the honda part

Hell, I have never heard of a honda Oil pump fail, EVER!!! so ---- it, clean up your old pump, put it back together and use it, dont waste money on stupid ----.

I have seen plenty fail if its low mileage keep it if its over 100k invest in a new one

SpankedYA!

Get a set of feeler gauges and check it.

thats the thing its already failing.

no startup oil pressure on cold starts for the first 15 seconds or so.

Its winter, deal with it, your oil is thick when cold, especially when using shitty oil, its not like a few seconds makes a difference anyways.

This happened to me today, No big deal, maybe cuz I have a swap going in soon :P
