Parts for your 2010 Toyota Aurion-Oil pump

2010 Toyota Aurion oil pump — what it does and how to look after it

Yes, the 2010 Toyota Aurion absolutely uses an engine oil pump. Technical references such as the Toyota 2GR‑FE Engine Repair Manual (Lubrication section), the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue for the Aurion GSV40, and workshop manuals covering the 2GR‑FE V6 all show a crankshaft‑driven, trochoid (gerotor) oil pump integrated into the timing chain cover. It’s a core part of the Aurion’s 3.5‑litre V6, not an optional extra.

What’s the oil pump’s job on a 2010 Aurion? It pulls oil up from the sump, pressurises it, and feeds the crank bearings, camshafts, timing chain, and the Dual VVT‑i system, keeping friction down and temps in check. Without strong, steady oil pressure, the silky 2GR‑FE won’t stay silky for long.

This pump isn’t a routine “service item”
