Any one here have any experience replacing oil pump on 2002 Maxima?

 

It's a big job.

What issues/symptoms are you having? Have you checked the oil pressure?

 

No major issues, it's just that i am having "Hard start" issue after car is hot. I could be wrong, but I am thinking the oil may not be getting to the valve train area fast enough to obtain a normal start. I have 120,000 miles so I am thinking maybe pump should be replaced. Not sure, I may be over reacting considering I am an avid DIY.

 

Oil pressure is not your problem.

 

Where is oil sending unit location on 5th Gen. Maxima?
