1997 XJ, 4.0, 231J, AW4
I will be replacing the rear main seal )and of course oil pan gasket) in a couple of weeks.
I have 185,000 miles on my 97XJ. Runs great and doesn't use or burn oil. (Just leaking some out of the main seal.)
Should I go ahead and replace the oil pump while the bottom is opened up??
I plan on keeping the XJ forever and I have no idea how long the oil pumps are expected to last. As long as it's open I can save some time and labor by doing it now if it is near its service life.
Opinions appreciated.
Thanks,
