The Mazda Miata Oil Pump maintains lubricant on the parts of the engine in a steady, pressurized flow and reduces heat and friction at all revolutions, ensuring that the part will outlive the car even when the tachometer is at redline during weekend track days. The mounting footprint and drive interface are the same among NA, NB, NC, and ND cars, meaning that a single robust Oil Pump component can be applied all the way along the Miata line without any adapter wizardry. The compact Oil Pump housing has internal gears that push the oil through a mesh strainer and through the filter, which move the oil back to the pan in a continuous loop with a spring-loaded relief valve to relieve excess pressure and thus not damage the seals and gaskets. The majority are crank-driven to achieve lower rotating mass, but Mazda has also made gear-driven and chain-driven designs to fit special packaging requirements, which demonstrate the ease with which the core design is adaptable to work in the engine bay of other types. Each Oil Pump features a pressure port for the dash light or gauge sender, providing drivers with an instant heads-up in the event that the flow should ever drop during hard cornering. Subsequent models acquired a tighter relief spring, which maintains pressure at high rpm, making them more efficient because the clearances between the bearings are filled despite the thinning oil at elevated temperatures. The unit is unique in that the modular cavity enables performance builders to add larger rotors to increase volume without making modifications to the block, unlike other small sports cars. Reliable production implies lower temperatures inside the engine, more reliable transmission of power, and a healthy margin of safety that is similar to the broader Mazda promise of fun and durable machines. Simple oil changes and a clean pickup screen are all that is normally required to allow a Mazda engine to spin freely, keeping the favorite Miata on the road and in the curves year after year.
