Yes, the oil appears to lubricate the internals. It was clean until I turned the key a bit and it spit out oil.
Install is a breeze. Top access, 3 10mm bolts torqued to 12.5 ft lbs.
You need to clean the old gasket seal off of the engine, test fit the new pump to get the key on the right position, apply seal paste to the new pump (I used the black gasket maker variant). Apply the paste in a complete circle on the outer edge of where the pump contacts with the engine. Install pump and torque bolts to 12.5. Wait 12 hours for the gasket to set.
This is what I did but the gasket instructions say to let it dry before torquing down the bolts and they suggest waiting 24 hours. If it leaks I'll just re-seal it.
Going slow it took me 20 minutes.
Oh, and don't forget to replace the little Oring behind the pump - $1 part,
