Here's a more detailed explanation:
* Directly Attached to the Oil Pan: The oil pump is a vital component that draws oil from the oil pan and circulates it through the engine. This is why it's positioned directly inside the oil pan.
* Accessibility: To access the oil pump, you'll need to remove the oil pan from the engine. This involves removing various bolts and potentially some surrounding components.
Important Note: Always consult a repair manual specific to your 1986 S10 2.8 V6 engine for detailed instructions and warnings before attempting any repairs.
