yes because it makes your car very very fast like a tonka truck
Updated Answer
Yes because if you don't the engine will not be lubricated and could seize and cause expensive damage to the big end shells piston rings and cylinder bores.
it blows up and you will die!
Lock down as in safety shut off, no. If oil pressure fails, the engine will fail.
not worth it.......................get a replacement one
if my oil pump went on my 01 altima is it worth fixin or do you think the engine is shot
Depends on the veichle and how much it is worth. Lets say that a fuel pump in a brand new gave out, it would be worth replacing. Now on an old clunker, its probably not worth replacing.
The marine main engine lube oil sump is critical to keep the engine running. If the pump gets clogged or fails, then the engine will seize and be ruined.
th purpose of an oil pump is to PUMP...OIL
The first thing you may notice is the engine will become hard to start. You may also notice gasoline mixed with the oil as the diaphragm in the pump may have a hole in it allowing fuel to enter the engine oil pan. Eventually the engine will not run at all from lack of fuel when the pump fails completely. You can test the pump by removing it and pushing the lever on the pump all the way in, then put your finger over the inlet and release the lever. If the diaphragm is busted the lever will move back. If the lever holds steady as long as you have the inlet plugged the pump is good.
does the tddi have an oil pump? -oil pump is internal within the engine. oil pump failure would make the oil pressure light come on and tell you to stop the car before the engine seizes completely. the most common reason for oil pressure failure is big end bearings becoming worn allowing oil to pass through which makes the oil pump struggle like hell, take the sump off and have a proper look, clean out all oil ways, check bearings. if bearings are worn its likely that you'll end up changing the entire block or scrapping the car.
the pressure of oil that the oil pump is pulling?
Remove the oil pan. The oil pump will be visible. Remove the oil pump pickup to. Remove the oil pump retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new oil pump.
The oil pump is inside the oil pan, the oil pan must be removed to gain access to the oil pump
