In order to ensure that you get the best out of your vehicle, you may decide to perform an oil pump priming. This will help to ensure that your oil pump delivers oil quickly to the rest of the engine. After an oil change, you may find that your oil pump is working less efficiently than usual, or that you have a reduced amount of oil pressure in your engine. This is caused by the oil pump losing the prime or its prepared status, allowing air and other debris to leak into the oil pump line. Oil pump priming is a way to increase the pressure inside your engine, without having to take it to a garage. We recommend having your oil pump inspected at least every 60,000 miles to ensure it is maintained correctly.
