Product Information
Oil Pump
The Porsche 911 & 911 turbo Oil Pump is one
of the most critical components within the engine's dry-sump lubrication
system. Responsible for circulating oil throughout the engine, the oil pump
ensures that vital moving components receive a continuous supply of lubricating
oil, helping to minimise friction, control temperatures, and protect against
premature engine wear.

Unlike conventional wet-sump systems, Porsche's legendary
dry-sump design relies heavily on the oil pump to both supply pressurised oil
to the engine and scavenge oil back to the external oil tank. This constant
circulation is essential for maintaining stable oil pressure under all driving
conditions, particularly in high-performance and turbocharged applications.
Whether you're rebuilding an engine, restoring a classic
Porsche, or replacing worn internal components, the 91110700805 oil pump plays
a crucial role in maintaining engine reliability and long-term performance.
What Does the Oil Pump Do?
The oil pump is the heart of the Porsche lubrication system.
It draws oil from the oil tank and distributes it under pressure to critical
engine components including:
- Crankshaft
bearings
- Connecting
rod bearings
- Camshafts
and valve train components
- Pistons
and cylinders
- Timing
chains and associated components
- Turbocharger
lubrication systems (where applicable)
The pump also scavenges used oil from the engine and returns
it to the oil tank, ensuring continuous circulation throughout the dry-sump
system.
A correctly functioning oil pump helps:
- Maintain
stable oil pressure
- Reduce
internal engine wear
- Support
effective engine cooling
- Ensure
reliable lubrication under high-performance driving
- Protect
expensive engine components from damage
Why Does an Oil Pump Fail?
Although Porsche oil pumps are engineered for durability,
wear can occur over time, especially in high-mileage engines or engines that
have experienced poor maintenance.
Common causes of oil pump failure include:
- Internal
gear wear
- Contamination
from debris or metal particles
- Oil
starvation events
- Poor
maintenance history
- Engine
overheating
- Excessive
bearing material circulating through the oil system
- Damage
following engine failure
- Wear
to internal clearances reducing oil pressure
As oil pumps age, efficiency can decline, leading to reduced
oil pressure and compromised lubrication performance.
When Should You Replace It?
Replacement should be considered whenever there are signs of
oil pressure issues, excessive internal wear, or during major engine rebuild
work.
Typical replacement scenarios include:
- Full
engine rebuilds
- Low
oil pressure diagnosis
- Internal
engine failure repairs
- High-mileage
engine restorations
- Excessive
wear found during engine inspection
- Metal
contamination within the lubrication system
- Preventative
replacement during performance engine builds
Because oil pump failure can lead to catastrophic engine
damage, replacing a worn unit during rebuild work is often considered
inexpensive insurance compared to the cost of a complete engine failure.
