LS1, LS2, LS3 Oil Pump, 18% Higher volume & 10% Higher pressure - suitable for AFM

Melling 10296 High Volume / High Pressure LS Oil Pump* 

*Please read the important notes at the bottom

The Melling 10296 oil pump is a proven high volume LS oil pump upgrade, delivering increased oil flow and pressure for performance LS engines including LS1, LS2, LS3 and LS6 applications.

This LS high volume oil pump provides approximately 18% more oil flow compared to the standard Melling 10295 pump, making it ideal for engines with increased bearing clearances, high RPM use, or high capacity oil pans.

Fitted with a high pressure spring (+10 PSI) and supplied with an optional standard pressure spring, the Melling 10296 oil pump allows flexibility depending on your engine combination.

This pump is commonly used in:

• LS2 & LS3 performance builds

• Stroker LS engines

• Engines with larger oil clearances

• AFM / DOD LS engines requiring increased oil supply

The latest design improvements used in Melling LS oil pumps ensure improved durability, pressure stability and consistent oil delivery under load.

Melling 10296 Oil Pump Features

• High volume rotor design (+18% flow)

• High pressure spring installed (+10 PSI)

• Includes optional standard pressure spring

• Hard coat anodised aluminium housing

• Phosphate coated cast iron cover

• Adjustable pressure relief valve (threaded nut)

• Suits standard 7/8” LS oil pickup tube

• Includes pickup tube O-rings

Why Choose the Melling 10296 LS Oil Pump

A standard LS oil pump may not provide enough oil volume in performance builds. The Melling 10296 high volume oil pump ensures increased oil supply to critical engine components under high load and RPM.

This is especially important in:

• LS stroker engines

• Performance camshaft combinations

• High RPM builds

• Engines with upgraded bearings and clearances

Important Notes

This is a high volume LS oil pump. Increased oil flow may push excessive oil to the rockers & cause starvation in the sump. 

• Recommended for use with high capacity oil pans 

• Not recommended for small sump LS1 oil pans due to possible starvation. 

• Oil system must be set up correctly to avoid oil starvation

• Oil restricting pushrods may be required in some combinations
