Your oil pump is one part of the engine in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. It's responsible for directing oil to the many moving parts, so they're lubricated and the engine remains cooled to its ideal operating temperature.

How Does a Mercedes-Benz Oil Pump Work

It depends on the engine type in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The oil pump needs a driving force, be it a chain, ignition distributor, camshaft gear, or camshaft. The rotation of that part spins gears located inside the oil pump, which produces the suction that draws the oil from the bottom of the pan. After that oil is pulled through an oil pan pickup screen, it's then pushed through the oil filter and on to the engine.
