Ls2 high volume oil pump

High Volume Oil Pump
Chevy LS1-LS2-LS6-LS3, High Volume (18% more volume than stock pump), Suit Commodore

The MEM10296 provides 18% more oil than the original stock LS1 oil pump. The inlet and outlet passages have been optimised to improve oil flow entering and exiting the pump which improves overall pump performance. The design of the pressure relief has been updated to improve low RPM performance. The pressure by-pass setting has been increased 10 psi, with the installed spring. An additional pressure relief spring is supplied which will reduce the by-pass back to the stock setting. The pump cover is CNC machined from cast iron and coated to improve performance and durability. The oil pump housing is CNC machined from cast aluminium and hard-coat anodised to increase hardness and improve durability.

Melling 18% Higher Volume LS Oil Pump
Suitable for VT VX VY VZ VE VF Holden Commodore & HSV LS1 LS2 LS3 L98 V8


Melling Select Performance has been manufacturing and providing cutting edge performance engine parts for over 65 years. One of the most trusted names in the business, this is a direct high volume replacement for your factory oil pump.The Melling M295HV oil pump is a high pressure, high volume oil pump that offers improved resistance against cavitation at higher RPMs. The cast aluminum housing is CNC-machined and hardcoat anodized. The cast iron cover is CNC-machined and phosphate coated. The relief valve features a screw-in valve plug. The factory LS oil pump suffers from cavitation above 6,200 RPM, which results in a drop in oil flow of nearly 1 GPM by 7,000 RPM. This cavitation can also aerate the oil, which causes drops in oil pressure and can result in oil starvation. This is why we do not recommend shifting any higher than 6,200 RPM with a stock oil pump. Engines that run at RPM's above 6,200 should use an upgraded Melling pump to prevent these issues.

The pumps are built using a proprietary casting process, which yields maximum performance and reliability. Every Melling oil pump is completely pressure-tested, including idle and bypass pressure, before it leaves the factory.

This makes the Melling high volume oil pump a perfect addition to any camshaft upgrade or simply as a serviceable replacement - all whilst remaining incredibly cost effective and very simple to install.

Issues often become apparent when removing your old oil pump when working on your engine. Remove this risk and replace your worn out unit with this high quality high volume oil pump and feel assured your engine is getting the oil it needs for many years to come.

This oil pump also includes 2 pick-up O-rings. The thicker green O-ring is to be used on a pick-up tube that has a recess in it for a captured O-ring seal, whereas the black O-ring is suitable for a more traditional style pick-up tube. Both are included to ensure you have the correct seal for your application.

You can feel confident in this oil pump’s performance thanks to each unit being individually pressure-tested and hand-turned, whilst also being backed by an iron clad 12 month warranty.

Do I need a high

High-Volume Oil Pump These pumps are good for performance engines with larger bearing clearances. The added oil will help maintain oil pressure and carry away heat. A high-volume pump may also be required to lubricate add-on engine parts.

Which is better high pressure or high

Some engine builders prefer to use high-volume oil pumps on engines with wide bearing clearances and high mileage (rather than rebuild the engine). On the other hand, high-pressure pumps are necessary for circle track and drag racing engines because they provide fast oil circulation to keep up with the higher rpms.

How much oil pressure should an LS engine have?

The ideal oil pressure varies depending on the car brand and model, but generally, the ideal oil pressure is between 25-65 PSI.

How long does an LS oil pump last?

If you're thinking it's weird that you haven't replaced the oil pump yet on your 10-year-old daily driver, don't worry; oil pumps typically last 150,000+ miles or the life of the vehicle, but only if you keep up with the required maintenance.
