C55 with possibly bad oil pump? Give a listen.
Hi all, been lurking around here for a while while owning my C55 for the last few years. I guess I got unlucky and it seems my oil pump may have gone.

Let me know, the price of this through both an independent shop and the dealership is around $3,500. Thanks!

a good indicator would also be a metallic shine in the oil. Use a bright light or direct sunlight. Wouldn't be much but you would see a light reflection of material even small particulate. You would think you would hear alot of lifter noise if failed which I did not hear but would also check oring as mentioned in previous reply for pickup. Pump has internal filter screening which may have blockage but if your in that far replacement is always my best friend at that point

It’s a common issue on these engines. Loud pumps are typically sucking air, but if you can’t do the work yourself, I would certainly get a new oil pump and oring, as the labor is the real costly part
