Shattered oil pump at 65K miles
So this happened:
Oil pump shattered, immediately starving the bearings and causing one or more of them to spin. Looks like I'm getting a new motor. |

that's the first i've seen OPG failure. or at least on this forum. it's actually pretty common in the coyote motor in the 5.0 mustangs, especially with FI. I'm surprised more manufacturers don't put billet gears in these things from the get go (especially on cars that they know will be run hard and in the upper RPM's). Seems like cheap insurance for them to prevent having to rebuild motors under warranty.

Same condition but different discussion points. This is tech the other is extended warranty. Makes sense really.

Take my previous car for example; 2008 BMW 335i. The N54 was an absolutely wonderful engine, but goddamn was it ever plagued with it's demons. Specifically speaking, BMW cheaped out on the high pressure fuel pump, which led to a class-action law-suit, a massive recall of every model with the N54 engine, AND an extended 10-year warranty on the part itself. Probably ended up costing BMW way more all said and done than it saved by using a cheaper part initially. Perhaps more frustrating, because BMW refuses to acknowledge this one, is the water-pump. You have a 3.0L inline 6 with TWIN TURBO and 300hp from the factory, in a performance-oriented vehicle, and you put in a water pump with a PLASTIC impeller?! This is mainly infuriating because, again, BMW refuses to acknowledge that it was a wide-spread issue, despite the fact that it was common knowledge amongst owners with this engine that your water pump WILL fail somewhere between 80,000 to 100,000km, like clock-work. Mine went at 105k. It's so bad that it was more of a "when" than an "if". An even bigger admission of guilt is the fact that the replacement part used in the repair has an aluminum impeller. Let's hope this OPG failure is an exception, and not a rule.

Forum goers and Facebook posters tend to be enthusiasts who mod and break their cars while LOVING to talk about it. I'd be surprised if engine failure rates on these cars with fully stock engines, electronics and drive lines is anywhere close to being high or unexpected for a brand new platform. |

Man that's terrible I'm sorry to hear that. Just out of curiosity what kind of oil are you using? Also follow up question did this happen on track?

I've been thinking about this, and I'm not certain mine is the first one. There have been several reports of spun bearings in the 60K to 70K mile range. I remember in one of them, the dealership said the spun bearing was the result of oil starvation but didn't explain how that was supposed to have happened. Since a spun bearing results in an engine swap anyway, I'm wondering how many of those might have actually resulted from oil pump issues without that detail ever being relayed to the customer.
When it happened to me, I knew immediately that I had spun a bearing just based on the descriptions I had already read on here. Quote:

I don't track this car. It happened out on the street when I shifted from first to second accelerating away from an intersection. I don't baby this car, but I don't abuse it either. Quote:
I normally monitor my oil temps in Torque, and it usually stays under 220. Unfortunately I had my engine monitor disconnected when this happened, so I don't know if anything anomalous occurred right before the failure. |

Shattered oil pump at 65K miles
Quote:
I'm at 63k running mobile1 0w-30. So we will find out. I know some people on here are well past that without issues. You may have indeed just been unlucky. I'm very curious how many others will have this issue. Good luck on the replacement motor Last edited by DandoX; 02-06-2017 at 11:20 PM. |
