Oil pump? How long should it last?
I know this is a very generalized question but how long on average do oil pumps last? I was told that they should last the life of the car; if maintained of course.
My current bone-stock 95 Civic LX is going in for two major services tomorrow. It's getting a timing belt and clutch replacement. I'm way overdue for servicing; the car has 152,000miles on it and the last time the waterpump/timing belt was changed was like 90,000miles ago!
Will I be fine without changing the oil pump while doing the timing belt? Do people generally change the oil pump at all? I've never really heard of one failing on a properly maintained car. They're really solid, yes? I'm referring to bone-stock cars here.
Let me know. My major car servicing is happening tomorrow.

I've only ever heard of them failing on race-only vehicles. Going on 20 years of working on Hondas, I've never seen one go. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Oil pump? How long should it last?
Thanks guys for the reassurance. I didn't think it needed changing either. Oil pumps are usually very stout pieces.
Cheers.
Cheers.
