Detailed Description

The Melling 10340 oil pump is an upgrade over M340 and M360 applications, offering a high-pressure output with standard volume delivery. Its anodized hard-coated aluminum body and phosphate-coated cast iron cover are designed to improve pump durability, while the adjustable relief valve gives added control over bypass pressure. The 10340 part number is a direct reference for buyers looking for a performance oil pump for Ford F-150, Mustang, Expedition, and other Ford Modular engine applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring oil pressure in a worn or weak pump assembly
• Supporting consistent lubrication in high-RPM operation
• Replacing an upgraded or performance-oriented pump setup
• Addressing pressure loss caused by internal pump wear
• Serving Ford Modular engine builds that need a high-pressure pump

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify Ford Modular engine compatibility before installation and confirm the pickup tube seal is properly seated. The 10340 uses a crankshaft drive type and a rotary pump design, so alignment and clean mating surfaces are important during assembly. Review the vehicle-specific fitment notes for the exact application before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Melling manufactures this pump in the USA and tests each unit for pressure and flow under actual engine operating conditions. The 10340 is built as a performance-grade replacement with materials and features selected for durability and consistent oil delivery.
