Std Oil Pump vs High Volume vs High Volume/High Pressure
From : dj
Q: i have a dodge 5.2l 318 and they list 3 oil pumps for it. of course the standard pump and then a high volume pump that is recommended for higher mileage engines which says it pumps 20-25% more oil and then they list a high volume/high pressure pump. i was thinking putting a high pressure pump in an older motor 100000mi would be asking for oil leaks to develop. i was thinking about the high volume pump but are restrictor plugs required in the block like chevy small blocks are required or a higher volume oil pan .
