Slide1: WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF AN OIL PUMP FAILURE IN A CAR?
Slide2: Friction is the enemy of the engine as it adversely affects efficiency as well as lifespan of the engine.
Slide3: Different components of the engine need to be properly lubricated to run smoothly in a friction less surrounding.
Slide4: Besides, circulation of pressurized oil also helps to get rid of the excess amount of heat generated due to the combustion process.
Slide5: Oil pump generates the pressure required to circulate the oil throughout the engine. Pressurized oil reaches every corner of the engine and thus helps the engine to run efficiently.
Slide6: However, a defective oil pump could not do its job efficiently which could impair an engine.
Slide7: CAUSES OF AN OIL PUMP FAILURE
Slide8: Lack of a sufficient amount of oil could increase pressure on the oil pump. LOW OIL LEVEL
Slide9: Besides, an oil pump also needs to be properly lubricated to run smoothly. However, unavailability of a sufficient amount of lubricant could adversely affect its performance.
Slide10: So, it is essential to inspect the quantity of engine oil on a daily basis.
Slide11: CONTAMINATED ENGINE OIL Deposition of metallic particles, dirt particles, fuel and other kinds of contaminants in the engine oil could negatively affect its ability of lubrication.
Slide12: Neglecting the engine oil contamination could damage an oil pump.
Slide13: So, the quality of the engine oil needs to be inspected regularly.
Slide14: SLUDGE BUILD UP Presence of a huge amount of contaminants could combine with old engine oil to create sludge.
Slide15: Sludge build up inside the engine not only adversely affects the performance of the engine but also could damage the oil pump.
Slide16: LACK OF MAINTENANCE Lack of maintenance like skipping an oil change or ignoring the signs of a problematic oil pump could trigger major mechanical malfunctions in the oil pump.
Slide17: Besides, defective components of an oil pump should be replaced immediately and engine oil should be flushed after a certain time interval to avoid sludge build up.
Slide18: BOTTOM LINE
Slide19: An Oil pump plays a vital role in the performance of an engine and thus it needs special attention.
Slide20: Malfunctions in such an important part of the engine could have disastrous consequences.
Slide21: Signs of a defective oil pump should not be neglected and timely action should be taken to fix such problems.
Slide22: Regular maintenance is the key to keep it in working order.
