Best Engine Oil Pumps of 2025

"I was a bit apprehensive due to the 1-star reviews, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway. The Subaru Crosstrek's drain bolt was compromised, so I needed an oil extractor pump. The provided plastic tube fit easily down the dipstick hole. I was careful to only insert it until I felt it 'bottom' out. Once I flicked the switch, it immediately started to pump the oil out. It took about 2-3 minutes to evacuate 4.7 quarts, and I could see it extracted just about that amount. Such a clean way to accomplish a dirty job!"

"This pump has been fantastic for my oil changes, and it has already paid for itself after just one use! Even though it was my first time doing car maintenance, I managed to use it without any issues. It works effectively, and I recommend it. I did notice cheaper options, but I can confirm that this one works, even for a beginner like me."

"I bought this unit for changing oil in my boat, as I can't get under the engine. While it did get the job done, I found it to be a bit slow, taking around 25-40 minutes to clear the oil. The inlet tube could have been longer, and the power cord was short, making it a bit tricky to set up. Despite these minor issues, it was an inexpensive solution."

"I had low oil pressure at hot idle, and after installing this pump, I now have 24psi at hot idle, 70psi cold idle, and up to 65 psi WOT when the engine is hot. I did extensive research before purchasing and I'm glad I did! It worked exactly as promised. I recommend it 100%!"

"With my 2015 Chevy van's oil pressure being only 20 psi at cold start and dropping to 10 psi when warm, I decided to try this pump. It raised my oil pressure to 50 psi when cold and 30 psi when warm using 5w-30 full synthetic. This high volume and high-pressure pump is crucial!"

"I read several reviews before selecting this pump over the ACDelco, but unfortunately, I found its performance to be below the original ACDelco. I was hoping for better results."

"I installed this oil pump on my 2005 Chevy Avalanche and it fixed the ticking noise. Before replacing it, I checked for metal shavings and found none, which pointed to the oil pump being the issue. After installation, the ticking disappeared, and my truck runs smoother than ever!"

"I used this pump in my 370ci 500hp motor and it worked flawlessly. It maintained oil pressure effortlessly. I will definitely order again when needed!"

"After replacing the oil pump in my 2004 GMC Envoy XL, the engine's performance improved significantly. I was experiencing low oil pressure and ticking noises, especially on inclines. Replacing the pump solved all my issues, and now the engine runs like new!"

"I ordered the pump but didn't receive it the first time. It lasted only 5 months. Replacing the oil pump on my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a major hassle, and I can't find any way to contact Aulink for warranty support. No email or contact info available. Now I have to buy another one, likely OEM, to avoid future issues."

"After just a month, I encountered issues with the oil pump again. Upon inspecting it, I found that the wires were bare. I'm unsure if they used oil-resistant wires, but honestly, it's not worth the money or time."

"I bought this to replace my oil pump and solenoid. I spent about 6 hours installing it, only to spend another 6 hours removing it and switching to OEM parts. The ECU didn't recognize the solenoid, and it didn't resolve my issue. They should compensate me for those 6 hours of labor."

"After replacing this pump, my oil pressure improved from 15 psi to 65 psi. It's definitely a good product!"

"I have a used engine business, and I always install this pump before selling the engines. It works great!"

"The replacement process was quick, and it came with all necessary components as advertised."

“I chose this product because it was affordable. I was initially unsure about using a generic oil pump, but I’ve had no problems so far. While I can’t speak to its long-term durability, I feel confident it will hold up.”

“My main concern was whether it would fit, but I’m happy to report that there were no fitment issues at all. The gyrotor style of the pump seems sturdy, making me feel more at ease.”

"I had a lifter fail on my 5.3 Vortec 03 Suburban. After replacing all the lifters and installing a stage 2 cam, I reused the old oil pump thinking it was fine. However, after some issues, I ordered a new oil pump and the performance was impressive! Now, I have 40 psi at idle and it never drops below 40 psi after warm-up. I'm really happy with this pump, and I hope to get another 240,000 miles out of this engine!"

"I've installed this pump on multiple Silverado/Sierra models. I always choose the max psi spring for better performance. One truck with 270k miles maintains 65 psi on the highway effortlessly. Even my well-worn 5.3 engine with 255k miles holds strong at 53 psi. This pump is my go-to, and the pickup bolt can be a bit challenging but totally manageable!"

"I put this oil pump in my friend's 2009 Chevy truck with a 5.3L engine. After the installation, his oil pressure increased by about 5 psi. It's a genuine Melling pump, made right here in the USA. My advice is to stick with a higher pressure pump only if you're using a VVT or DOD system; otherwise, it's just a waste of horsepower, in my opinion."

"I ordered this oil pump expecting a gasket, but it didn't come with one. I'm a bit let down."

"Receiving the pump without a gasket was disappointing. I had higher hopes."

"I used this pump for several projects, and it has worked great so far. I power flushed my power steering system on a Ford F150, and it was fantastic. It fit perfectly with the hoses included, and I was able to complete the flush in less than 15 minutes. I also used it on my transmission, where it quickly drained about 5 quarts of fluid. Overall, I'm really satisfied with its performance."

"I needed a pump to remove engine oil from my MerCruiser boat. I simply removed the dipstick, inserted the suction tube into the oil pan, and directed the outlet hose into a gallon jug. This pump has the power to move oil even when cold, which means I don't have to preheat the engine. It's very easy to use and not messy at all."

"I acquired this pump to change transmission fluids. Pulling the fluid from the dipstick port minimizes the mess when changing the filter. I've found the pump to be of good quality and it primes quickly. I would highly recommend it!"
