Parts for your 2015 Nissan Navara-Oil pump

2015 Nissan Navara oil pump — purpose, reliability and servicing tips

Yes, the 2015 Nissan Navara runs an engine oil pump — it isn’t optional kit. Nissan’s factory service manuals for the 2015 Navara platforms (D23/NP300 and late D40, covering engines such as YS23 2.3L diesel, YD25 2.5L diesel and QR25 2.5L petrol) all describe a crankshaft-driven trochoid oil pump within the lubrication system. Nissan’s electronic parts catalogues and common workshop data (Autodata/ALLDATA, Haynes) also list the oil pump and related parts such as the pickup/strainer, relief valve and front cover assembly. So for anyone chasing a 2015 Navara oil-pump, it’s absolutely a relevant, fitted component.

The oil pump’s job is simple but critical: pull oil from the sump, push it through the filter, and feed pressurised oil to bearings, camshafts, turbochargers and timing components. On these Navaras, the pump is integrated at the front of the engine and driven by the crank. That constant flow keeps metal parts cooled and separated by an oil film, which is what stops expensive contact and wear.

There’s no scheduled replacement for the pump itself
