Land Rover Engine Oil Pump - Genuine Land Rover LPF101290L

Product Information

An engine oil pump is a critical component of a vehicle’s lubrication system. Its main job is to circulate engine oil under pressure to moving parts such as the crankshaft, bearings, camshaft, and valve train. This reduces friction, cools components, and ensures proper engine performance and longevity.

Key functions:

• Lubrication – delivers oil to reduce wear on moving parts.
• Cooling – helps carry away excess heat from engine components.
• Hydraulic support – powers systems like hydraulic lifters and variable valve timing.

• Low oil pressure warning light – illuminated on the dashboard due to insufficient oil flow.
• Engine overheating – oil circulation failure increases friction and heat.
• Unusual engine noises – knocking, ticking, or grinding sounds from unlubricated parts.

Other Possible Signs

• Frequent or severe engine wear (scored bearings, worn camshaft).
• Oil pressure gauge reading abnormally low or fluctuating.
• Metal shavings in oil (from insufficient lubrication).
• Complete engine failure if the pump seizes or oil starvation occurs.

About Genuine Land Rover

The same parts Land Rover used to build your vehicle are sold as replacement parts under the “Genuine Land Rover” brand. These are manufactured under Land Rover’s direction, guaranteeing top quality. As you’d expect, they also carry a premium price and are sold exclusively through the Land Rover dealership network.

Genuine Land Rover parts trace their origins back to the earliest days of the brand in 1948, when Rover engineers built the first Series I using robust, serviceable components designed for durability in harsh environments. Over the decades, Land Rover established partnerships with leading European suppliers to ensure consistent quality and performance. This tradition continues today, with Genuine Land Rover parts representing the official replacement components engineered to the same specifications as those used on the production line.

What many owners don’t realize is that Land Rover doesn’t manufacture most of these parts themselves. Instead, they design the components, contract trusted suppliers to produce them, and then verify the quality. Many of these suppliers have partnered with Land Rover for decades. In the industry, they’re known as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)—brands you probably recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. It’s not unusual to open a Genuine Land Rover box and find one of these brands inside—just re-badged with a Land Rover logo.

On our site, look for OE tags on product pages to quickly spot parts that come straight from the original manufacturers. Choosing these can save you a significant amount compared to buying them in Genuine packaging. For more details on how to identify OE and OEM parts, check out our OE Academy.
