Hi all. Just picked up a 96 Riviera 3.8 Super Charged!! Light blue on med blue. I think it needs an oil pump, but other than that it's perfect all around!! smile

Greetings!

Please elaborate why you think your engine might need an oil pump.

Welcome! I haven't heard yet of one of these needing an oil pump, but start a new discussion about it and we'll figure out what your problem is, or at least steer you in the right direction.

Sounds like a winner as far as the color goes grimace

Especially with low miles(124k is good for this car), I can't see why you'd need an oil pump. I'm not sure if anyone on this entire board has ever needed a new one. Explain your problem in great detail and we'll be glad to help!

Thanks, but I think I'm painting it Black. They just look soooo sexy in Black!! And my clear is not the best looking right now, so might as well.

Listed a post in the Super Charged 3.8 thread. But basically, got one for 30 bucks so might as well, even if it's not bad, it won't hurt lol. Just got to get that stupid little plastic piece that breaks when you open it up.
