    Are there new OEM pumps still available? Mine is groaning on occasion in low speed parking lot maneuvers so I'm watching this thread. 😎

    I think I'll be getting another reman pump, since this one is under warranty, and see if it fixes it this time.

    In the meantime, I was advised by a trusted mechanic friend to drain out 3oz of the fluid and add in 3oz of 10w30 motor oil, and run it for 250 miles, then flush. He said that they've had good experience with that.

    Follow-up questions are still outstanding, like why flush if the 10w30 "additive" helps. I'm going to give it a try for the experiment of it while I'm waiting for next weekend to come for the pump swap.

    What do you all think of this technique?
