This pump delivers 18% more flow as compared to the standard volume 10295 oil pump. The design changes incorporated into 10295 have been carried over to this pump. The 10296 pump was engineered specifically for performance LS applications that demand increased oil flow. It can be used in any GM Gen III application with no modifications required to install the pump. Features include: Exclusive high volume (+18%) rotor design Hard coat anodized aluminum housing Phosphate coated cast iron cover High pressure (+10 psi) spring installed Includes optional standard pressure spring Threaded pressure relief nut Uses 7/8” stock bolt-on oil pickup tube assembly Includes O-rings for oil pickup tube assembly We do not recommend this pump for small-capacity sumps, such as those found in VT-VZ LS Commodores. This pump can push too much oil into the top end, starving the engine due to insufficient sump capacity. We only recommend using this pump with a large-capacity sumps. At a minimum, the VE-VF sump with an 8L capacity is required. If you are installing this pump in a VT-VZ Commodore, we strongly recommend using the stock GM oil pump or fitting an ASR 8Ltr large-capacity sump.
