Parts for your 2008 Honda Stream-Oil pump

2008 Honda Stream oil pump: what it does and when to service it

Based on Honda’s own workshop literature and parts catalogues for the RN6–RN9 Honda Stream (2006–2014) fitted with the R18A 1.8‑litre and R20A 2.0‑litre SOHC i‑VTEC engines, this 2008 model absolutely uses an engine oil pump. The technical sources specify a crankshaft‑driven, internal trochoid‑type pump mounted in the lower block/oil pan area, with a pickup screen and pressure relief valve. In other words, the oil-pump is relevant and fitted on every 2008 Honda Stream.

That oil-pump is the heart of the lubrication system. It pressurises and circulates engine oil to bearings, cam journals, the timing chain and tensioner, VTC components and piston cooling passages, keeping friction in check and temperatures under control. On cold starts, steady pressure helps prevent metal‑to‑metal contact
