I have a 2000 Camaro Z28 with around 105000 miles on it. I am going to be doing a water pump swap soon (fuel pump soon too - not related ).

Anyway, is it a good idea to replace the oil pump along with the water pump?

I have replaced a water pump before but never an oil pump... I have read the guide and have no idea if it is something I should attempt or not.. Although the amount of labor a shop will charge is probably insane...

Anyways thanks for any help you can offer...

Oil pressure is fine now in my opinion. From cold start usually around 50 and up to 60 or a lil over at mid rpm.

Although it is summer time now and I have noticed a little drop in pressure as I get off the interstate. It dropped to about 30 today at the off ramp red light.

^ could have been because AC was on tho. That seems to drop it a little.

((Also I am using mobile 1 syn 10-40...))

Personally I would leave the oil pump alone if all you are doing is a water pump. The oil pump is somewhat of a PIA to do and you aren't saving THAT much time by having the water pump off already.

Thank you for the response.

I am installing an Evans pump... Will I need to get the Tune modified or will stock work just fine?

i wouldnt bother doing the oil pump either. do it when you plan on doing a cam swap!! your pressure is just fine for a stock pump!

You shouldnt need to retune if all your doing is changing the water pump.
