Hi, please advice if for removing the sump (oil pan) to replace the oil
pump, just motor with gear raise up or must the motor out?
Regards Erik |

Raise motor only. Might need to unhook exhaust.

Remove fan shroud, remove sway bar and tie up out of the way,remove both bolts on engine mounts that go through frame. carefully lift engine with floor jack (use a flat peice of wood or similar under oil pan) enough for pan to clear once unbolted, remove starter, Watch driver side valve cover that is does not hit master cylinder or brake lines. (you may need to remove air cleaner). Hope this helps. (PS you should not need to mess with exhaust.)

hate to break bad news but if you're needing a new oil pump for a low oil pressure situation, the bearings in the engine are likely shot. a high volume oil pump may help for a while, or may not make much/any difference at all
have you tried a heavier grade oil yet? I 've mixed like 2 qts of 20/50 with 3 qts 10/40 to get me by through the cold months when a straight grade oil might get to thick to start the car. there's also a 15/40 grade available
