Fitment questions

Does every Nissan Pathfinder have an oil pump, or is it only on certain versions?

Every Nissan Pathfinder sold in the UK has an oil pump regardless of engine or drivetrain variant — it is a fundamental engine component needed to circulate oil around any internal combustion engine, so all petrol and diesel versions are fitted with one. The specific pump design, however, differs between engine families, so you need to match the replacement to your exact engine rather than just the Pathfinder nameplate.

Will an oil pump from a 2001 Pathfinder (R50 generation) fit my 2007 Pathfinder (R51 generation)?

No — the R50 (1997–2004) and R51 (2005–2014) are completely different generations with different engine families, so their oil pumps are not interchangeable. The R51 UK market was primarily fitted with the 2.5 dCi diesel (YD25DDTi engine code) or the 4.0 V6 petrol (VQ40DE), neither of which shares architecture with the R50's units. Always match the oil pump to the engine code on your V5, not the model year alone.

I have a 2009 Pathfinder and my neighbour has a 2012 — both are R51 diesels. Will the oil pump swap over?

Both fall within the R51 generation (2005–2014) and if both carry the same YD25DDTi engine code there is a strong basis for compatibility, but Nissan did make running production changes to the R51 during its lifespan. Confirm the engine codes on both V5 documents match exactly and check with the breaker against your registration before buying, as ancillary or mounting details can vary mid-production without a formal facelift.

Does the trim level — S, SE, or Tekna — affect which oil pump I need for my Pathfinder?

No — trim level has no bearing on oil pump fitment whatsoever. S, SE, and Tekna are specification grades covering interior and comfort equipment; they do not change the engine internals. What matters is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 or via a VIN check, and that is the detail you should give the breaker when requesting a quote.

Does it matter whether my R51 Pathfinder is a petrol or diesel when sourcing a used oil pump?

Yes, fuel type is critical here — the 2.5 dCi diesel (YD25DDTi) and the 4.0 V6 petrol (VQ40DE) are entirely different engines with different oil pumps that are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker which engine you have, and ideally supply the engine code from your V5 rather than relying on fuel type alone, as this removes any ambiguity.

Is the oil pump on a manual-gearbox Pathfinder different from the one on an automatic?

The oil pump being discussed here is the engine oil pump, which lives inside the engine itself and is not affected by whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox. Gearbox type does not influence fitment for this part; engine code and fuel type are the details that matter, so focus on those when speaking to a breaker.
