An oil pump chain is a wear item that stretches over high mileage; if a failing chain is behind your symptoms, this replaces it. Because low oil pressure and chain noise can also stem from other causes, diagnose the source before replacing. Inspect and reuse or renew related sprockets and guides as directed by the vehicle service procedure.
Manufacturer part number C973.
