I wonder if the software update is absolutely needed. Would you be able to
do it yourself or would you need to take it to a dealer and possibly have the DME locked if you're tuned? Another thing to worry about. o_O
...plan on this job, or get it covered under warranty ASAP.
Wow, I wish that was my experience. My local BMW dealership wanted $835 for the oilpump with a commercial account, Toyota wanted $800... $720 with my employee discount ;)
Maybe you can start a business here selling the cheap pumps to...
...sometimes just flog a sub optimal concept to death instead of just stepping back to tried and true solutions. Hopefully the B58 oilpump is an example of that reverting back to a metal control sleeve.

To add onto this too, to those who can't get it covered under warranty you can also purchase the BMW Z4's oilpump P/N instead. Costed me around $450 as opposed to going to Toyota who wanted $1100 alone for the pump.
First, just want to say your YouTube channel is fantastic. Second, a DIY with your typical level of detail on the B58 oilpump replacement would be *amazing*.
I have an early production (March 2020) MY2021 that I imagine has the faulty design. The car sees less than 1000 miles a year so who...
...a thread from a few months ago, but wanted to follow up since I didn't see it mentioned anywhere. There is a superseded part # for the oilpump. The earlier models featured a plastic adjusting ring. The plastic can break, so even though you still have oil pressure, it isn't near what is being...
2021 supra build date 7/20, had the oilpump replaced after showing high oil pressure and had a code for it. Plastic oilpump turned out to be cracked after taken out.
Hi,
is there anyone here that replaced oilpump on their 2020/21 supras?
just wondering bc i have a 2020 and people are saying that the oilpump on a 2020 or early 21s are bad / made of plastic.
I understand what you’re saying but it just seems like an unnecessary gamble, to me at least. If they try to replace another part after the control valve I’ll get more involved
I guess because how much F'ing around do you want in your life? Every trip to the dealer is a pita not only with regards to risk but also disruption to your daily life. We all know what it is and the risk in almost zero.

Why don't you make a deal with the stupid dealer. Get them to remove the oilpump and if it's not broken then you will pay for a new updated pump which is a good idea anyway. If they find it broken then it's a Toyota warranty claim.
The more the dealer works on it the greater the risk. When...
...still didn’t fix issue. They say next step is the oil control valve which of course isn’t under factory powertrain but luckily I have an extended that’s covering the level sensor and hopefully the oil control valve. Really hope the next step after the control valve is just to replace the oil...
Well, selecting the correct sensor would probably help in diagnosing the issue. FML
Pulled the correct sensor and it is about 3/4 of a quart overfilled. Guess the sensor is good. ?
Confirms the pump. I didn't want to spend the money on a pump if it was still good.
