The Melling 10355 pump is an excellent upgrade for the factory GM high-flow oil pump (part # 12612289). These pumps flow 33% more fluid than most standard LS pumps and Melling M295 pumps to accommodate Active Fuel Management (AFM), also known as Displacement On Demand (DOD). This pump tops out at about 9.5 gallons per minute (GPM). The additional oil volume can improve engine lubrication, and is considered a suitable performance upgrade for LS engines still using AFM/DOD, with larger capacity oil pans (6+ quarts). The factory LS oil pump suffers from cavitation above 6,200 RPM, which results in a drop in oil flow of nearly 1 GPM by 7,000 RPM. This cavitation can also aerate the oil, which causes drops in oil pressure and can result in oil starvation. This is why we do not recommend shifting any higher than 6,200 RPM with a stock engine. Engines that run at RPM's above 6,200 should use an upgraded Melling pump to prevent these issues. The pump also includes a stiffer pressure relief spring, which increases the maximum system oil pressure by 10%. This higher maximum pressure can help negate drops in oil pressure caused by the addition of an oil cooler setup. The oil pressure relief spring can be swapped out and a stock rate spring is also included with the pump.
This pump is suitable for LS and Vortec powered vehicles with Variable Valve Timing (VVT). This pump is suitable for engines that feature Active Fuel Management (AFM) and large capacity oil pans (6+ quarts). Engines without AFM/DOD should use a lower flow pump.

Motor Vehicles
WARNING: Motor vehicles contain fuel, oils and fluids, battery posts, terminals and related accessories which contain lead and lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. These chemicals are found in vehicles, vehicle parts and accessories, both new and as replacements. When being serviced, these vehicles generate used oil, waste fluids, grease, fumes and particulates, all known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.
Tools:
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
