Cloyes Engine Oil Pump Chain P/N:C973
Cloyes Engine Oil Pump Chain P/N:C973
$37.99

Keep the oil pump spinning in quiet, accurate sync with the Cloyes Engine Oil Pump Chain (P/N C973) — the Mazda 6 oil pump chain replacement that drops in as a direct-fit part for the 2014-2016 Mazda 3, the 2014-2016 and 2018 Mazda 6, and the 2014-2016 Mazda CX-5, all with the L4-2.5L engine. In some applications the oil pump chain works alongside the engine's timing system, so a worn or stretched chain can bring on rattle and inconsistent drive to the oil pump.

  • Inverted-tooth steel chain: an 82-link, single-row inverted-tooth design in 0.25 in (6.35 mm) pitch, measuring 10 in (254 mm) long and 0.48 in (12.31 mm) wide.
  • Pre-stressed, heat-treated steel: built for increased strength and wear resistance for long-term durability.
  • Precision pitch control: engineered for an optimal chain-to-sprocket fit that reduces noise, minimizes fatigue, and helps maintain accurate timing.
  • Two timing marks: includes timing marks to aid correct alignment during installation.

Designed in the USA. To protect total timing-system integrity, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain along with the tensioners, guides, and sprockets during service. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Country of origin: China.
