Melling M295 - Standard Pressure & Standard Volume Oil Pump for GM Gen3 LS Engines

Description

Made in the USA to the highest production standards, the Melling M295 oil pump is engineered as a standard-pressure, standard-volume stock replacement for factory GM LS-series oil pumps. Delivering a factory volumetric flow rate of approximately 6.8 GPM, it provides the precise oil displacement required for stock rebuilds, street restorations, and mild performance applications. The M295 features a stiffer pressure relief spring that increases maximum system oil pressure by 10% over the original equipment baseline to ensure consistent lubrication under load. Its cast aluminum housing is CNC-machined and hard anodized for superior bore wear resistance and internal clearance control. Fully compatible with factory GM bolt-on oil pickup tubes and screens, each pump is individually tested for flow and pressure under conditions designed to duplicate actual engine running environments.

Features & Technical Highlights:

• Factory Volumetric Flow Rate: Displaces approximately 6.8 GPM to maintain OEM oil circulation volume without running smaller pans dry or over-oiling the valvetrain.
• 10% Increased Maximum Pressure: Equipped with a stiffer internal pressure relief spring, boosting peak system oil pressure by 10% compared to standard factory units.
• Hard Anodized Aluminum Housing: Precision CNC-machined cast aluminum body features a hard-anodized finish to resist bore scuffing, friction, and premature wear.
• Factory Pickup Compatibility: Engineered to accept stock-diameter GM factory oil pickup tubes and screens for a hassle-free, direct-fit installation.
• Precision Gerotor Technology: Gears are machined to exacting tolerances to minimize parasitic drag, maintain steady fluid delivery, and reduce cavitation risk.
• Precision-Ground End Plates: Flat-finished wear surfaces resist scoring and prevent internal pressure loss over high mileage.
• 100% Factory Bench Tested: Individually dyno-tested by Melling for real-world flow and bypass pressure operation before leaving the plant.
• Made in the USA: Built domestically under strict manufacturing controls to deliver dependable long-term engine protection.
