Parts for your 2013 Ford Falcon-Oil pump

2013 Ford Falcon oil pump — what it does and how to look after it

An engine oil pump is absolutely fitted to the 2013 Ford Falcon and is a critical component on every engine offered that year. Technical sources such as the Ford FG MkII Workshop Manual, Ford Microcat/EPC parts catalogue, and industry data services (e.g., Autodata) detail the oil pump assembly and lubrication specs for the 4.0L Barra inline‑six (including XR6 Turbo and LPG variants) and the 2.0L EcoBoost four‑cylinder.

The oil pump’s job is simple but vital: circulate pressurised oil through the crank, rods, cam journals, timing gear and VCT phasers, and turbocharger bearings (on turbo models). That oil carries away heat, cushions moving parts with a protective film, and traps contaminants for the filter to catch. A built‑in pressure relief valve prevents excessive pressure, while the pick‑up and strainer make sure the pump only draws clean, aeration‑free oil from the sump.

On the 4.0L Barra, the pump is a crankshaft‑driven gerotor unit mounted at the front of the engine. On the 2.0L EcoBoost, it’s a chain‑driven, variable‑displacement pump integrated with the balance shaft module. Different layouts, same mission: stable oil pressure across all conditions.

• Servicing habits matter: regular oil and filter changes (typically every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or 12 months, usage dependent) keep the pump happy. Use the oil grade and Ford specification in the owner’s manual
