Here is an overview of the specifications of the Proton oil pump:
Flow rate
The flow rate of Proton oil pumps is between 90 LPH to 270 LPH. The pump's flow rate is the volume of oil it can move in one hour. An oil pump with a higher flow rate can send oil further and faster, making it suitable for larger engines. On the other hand, oil pumps with a lower flow rate are suitable for smaller engines.
Pressure
The pressure of the Proton oil pump ranges between 0.3 MPa to 1.0 MPa. The pressure rating indicates the force with which the pump can push the oil through the engine. Higher pressure is important for larger engines with complex oil channels. The pressure ensures that oil flows through all the channels in the engine block.
Power consumption
Proton oil pumps have a power consumption of 40 W to 100 W. The oil pump's power consumption is how much energy it uses to function. The oil pump draws power from the vehicle's electrical system. Oil pumps with higher power consumption can generate more pressure and flow at higher rates. As such, they are suitable for larger engines.
Temperature control
Some oil pumps have temperature control features. The oil pump can monitor the temperature of the oil. If the temperature exceeds the set limit, the oil pump will reduce the flow and pressure. The temperature control feature improves the oil pump's lifespan and helps save energy.
Materials
Proton oil pumps are made from high-quality aluminum alloys, copper, and steel. These materials make the oil pump corrosion-resistant and durable. Some oil pumps also have plastic components. Plastic parts reduce the weight of the oil pump and lower the production costs.
Proton oil pump maintenance requirements
Maintaining the oil pump is important to ensure it has a long lifespan and operates optimally. Here are some maintenance requirements for the oil pump:
Check the compatibility
Compatibility is critical when choosing oil pumps for any vehicle. Ensure the details of the pump match the specifications of the engine. One such specification to consider is the pump's flow rate. The pump's flow rate should be able to match the engine's horsepower. The oil pressure of the pump should also be compatible with the engine's oil-pressure requirements.
Consider the warranty
When choosing a Proton oil pump, consider the warranty offered by the supplier. The warranty is a sign of the quality of the oil pump. A longer warranty period means that the supplier is confident that the oil pump will last a long time. Different suppliers have different warranty periods, so be sure to read the terms and conditions of the warranty.
Evaluate the cost
Cost is an important factor when choosing a Proton oil pump, but it should not be the only deciding factor. Even though the oil pumps might be within the budget, it is important to consider the quality. Sometimes, a more expensive oil pump is more cost-effective in the long run because it is durable and of high quality. Evaluate the cost of the oil pump in relation to its quality and performance.
Determine the maintenance requirements
When choosing a Proton oil pump, determine the maintenance requirements. Some oil pumps may require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Consider the maintenance schedule, such as how often the oil pump needs to be checked or serviced. Choose an oil pump that requires minimal maintenance to save time and money.
Check the noise level
Some oil pumps can be noisy during operation. When choosing a Proton oil pump, consider the noise level. If a quiet operation is important, choose an oil pump specifically designed for silent functioning. These oil pumps have noise reduction features.
Proton oil pump replacement is a complex task that requires careful attention to detail and adherence to safety precautions. Here is a step-by-step guide for replacing a Proton oil pump:
1. Safety Precautions:
Before starting the oil pump replacement, ensure to read and follow all safety precautions. This may include working in a well-ventilated area, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and following proper handling and disposal procedures for engine oil.
2. Preparing the Vehicle:
Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal to prevent any electrical accidents. Ensure all necessary tools are available and within reach before starting the oil pump replacement procedure.
3. Draining Engine Oil:
Start by draining the engine oil using the oil drain plug. Allow sufficient time for the oil to completely drain before proceeding. This step is crucial to prevent oil spillage and ensure a clean working environment.
4. Removing the Oil Pump:
Once the oil has been drained, the next step is to remove the oil pump from the engine. Before that, refer to the manufacturer's service manual for specific instructions on accessing and removing the oil pump assembly. This may involve removing other components, such as the oil filter, timing belt, or chain, depending on the engine's design.
5. Preparing the New Oil Pump:
Once the old oil pump is removed, clean the mounting surface and remove any old gasket or sealant residue. Install the new oil pump according to the manufacturer's specifications. Ensure all components are properly aligned and torqued to the specified values.
6. Reassembling and Filling Engine Oil:
After installing the new oil pump, reassemble any removed components in the reverse order of disassembly. This may include installing the oil filter, timing belt or chain, and other accessories. Once everything is reassembled, fill the engine with the recommended type and amount of engine oil through the oil fill cap. Check the oil level using the dipstick and adjust as necessary.
7. Final Checks:
Reconnect the battery's negative terminal and start the engine. Allow it to run for a few minutes while checking for any oil leaks around the pump and other installed components. Inspect the area thoroughly to ensure no leaks or abnormal sounds. If everything looks good, close the hood and inform the driver about the completed oil pump replacement.
