An oil pump is an essential component in a car's engine system. Its primary function is to circulate oil throughout the engine to provide lubrication and cooling. This pump is usually driven by the engine crankshaft and is responsible for maintaining proper oil pressure within the system.

The oil pump draws oil from the oil pan and forces it through the oil filter to remove any impurities. It then directs the clean oil to various engine components, such as the crankshaft bearings, camshaft, pistons, and valves. The pump ensures that each component receives an adequate amount of oil to reduce friction and prevent excessive wear and tear. Additionally, the oil pump helps regulate engine temperature by carrying away the heat generated during operation.
