Engine Oil Pump and Timing Cover Assembly

This Melling engine oil pump and timing cover assembly is a standard replacement for a range of Hyundai and Kia applications. Built with aluminum housing and cover construction, it combines the timing cover and oil pump into one service part for engines that use crankshaft-driven oiling.

Key Features

• Standard replacement design for service work on compatible engines
• Aluminum housing and aluminum cover for durable construction
• Powdered metal rotor with close-tolerance gear machining
• Standard pressure and standard volume oil pump configuration
• Pickup screen and pump cover included in the assembly
• Rust preventative finish for added surface protection

Detailed Description

Melling M526 is engineered as an oil pump timing cover assembly for stock-style engine service. The design uses gear and gerotor technology, with machined components and precision-ground end plates to support consistent oil pressure and efficient pump operation. Each unit is individually tested for pressure and flow under conditions that simulate actual engine operating conditions. This part cross-references DNJ OP195 for the same application.

Compatible with Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Elantra GT, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Veloster, Kia Forte, Kia Forte5, Kia Forte Koup, Kia Optima, Kia Rio, and Kia Soul applications. Fits 2012-2020 Kia Rio, N/A; Fits 2012-2022 Kia Soul, N/A; Fits 2014-2018 Kia Forte5, N/A; Fits 2014-2016 Kia Forte Koup, N/A; Fits 2016-2020 Kia Optima, N/A; Fits 2017-2020 Hyundai Elantra, N/A; Fits 2018-2020 Hyundai Elantra GT, N/A; Fits 2019-2021 Hyundai Veloster, N/A.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring oil pressure in a worn or failing pump assembly
• Replacing a timing cover with damaged sealing surfaces
• Addressing low oil flow caused by internal pump wear
• Correcting noise or pressure irregularities from pump component wear
• Servicing engines that require an integrated pump and timing cover unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, mounting pattern, and inlet dimensions before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces, pickup screen, and related seals during service, and confirm all fasteners and torque values against the vehicle service information. This assembly is intended for stock-style applications and should be matched to the exact engine configuration.
