Part Number for Subaru 11mm Oil Pump
The part number for the Subaru 11mm oil pump is 15010AA360.
This oil pump is designed for Subaru 2.5L engines and is a direct fit for newer STI models. It is also suitable for stock and mildly modified engines or as an upgrade for the 10mm pump. The 11mm oil pump is recommended for use when converting a 2.0L car to an STI shortblock, as the 2.0L pump will not fit the 2.5L engine. Additionally, it is a standard issue on newer STI models and is a direct bolt-on for older WRX and STI models, providing an affordable upgrade for those with the older 10mm oil pump.

What is the best oil to run in a Subaru?
Synthetic oil-specifically 0W-20-is highly recommended for optimal engine performance and protection. If synthetic oil isn’t available at the time of an oil change, 5W-30 conventional oil may be used instead. However, it should be replaced with synthetic oil at the next change.
What kind of oil does a Subaru STI take?
Synthetic 5w-30 oil
Subaru WRX WRX STI Synthetic 5w-30 oil qt – SOA427V1410 – Genuine Subaru Part.
Will a bad oil pump throw a code?
With the P0522 code, a low oil pressure issue like a low oil pressure condition will trigger the code. Faulty oil pressure sensors or damaged oil pumps can also cause any of these codes to be set.
Can you test a car oil pump?
While there are no ways you or a mechanic can directly test the pump, you can check your oil pressure to determine if there’s an underlying problem. You may also be able to see or hear signs of your pump working incorrectly.
How serious is a P06DD code?
The P06DA, P06DD, and P06DE codes are serious. Not only can these codes make it difficult for you to start the car, but they can also lead to stalling problems when you’re driving, which is obviously dangerous for you and everyone else on the road.
What is P0520 code?
The OBD trouble code P0520 relates to the vehicle’s engine oil pressure sensor or switch and its associated electrical circuit and its operation. It’s a threshold issue with the oil pressure sensor, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) picks it up.
What oil does Subaru use from the factory?
Synthetic 0W-20 is uniquely formulated to handle the low-friction design of Subaru non-turbocharged engines. Synthetic 5W-30 motor oil is required for 2011 and newer turbo-charged engines, and is recommended for prior year models.
How do I test my oil pump?
- Stop your vehicle if the oil pressure light turns on. Then check your oil pressure gauge.
- Another step to test the oil pump is checking with a dipstick.
- Start the engine again if any indicator shows problems.
- Lastly, you can mount the oil pressure gauge, running the engine to read the pressure.
How often do oil pumps go bad?
Oil pumps are, generally, expected to last for the life of the engine and failures are unusual. I would only replace it if there were some (rare) specific problem or when rebuilding an engine. On a properly maintained engine, the oil pump is what’s called a ‘durable’ part. It will last the life of the engine.
How do I know if my oil pump is bad?
Increased Engine Temperature
Increased friction results in increased heat production, so if your oil pressure is too low, it will cause the engine temperature to increase, and could even lead to overheating. If your engine temperature warning light illuminates on your dash, it could be as a result of a bad oil pump.
