the oil pump is located before the filter and is lubricated with unfiltered oil
In most cars, the Oil pump is located before the filter and is lubricated with unfiltered oil which means that worn or old oil will cause the pump to wear out faster. A worn out oil pump will not build the needed pressure or yield as much oil flow to moving parts. Regularly checking the oil level and changing your oil is the best way to protecting the oil pump and keep the engine in good working condition. Failure to maintain the oil and filter in your engine is one of the leading causes of problems leading to shorting the life expectancy of an engine.
