How different are the oil pumps year to year. I have two, one I can't get to spin and the other seems ok but it's old and I feel better with a new one. Auto zone, and oreilly's do not carry the oil pump. Will this one work need it by Friday.

Well your car came with a shimmed 10mm oil pump, same thing as the STI uses. That one I'd guess is either a standard 9 or 10mm pump. It'll work, but an STI one would be better.

Yes. You'll find that the STI oil pump part number has replaced the SS one.

Any EJ oil/water pump will fit. But go with the STI one for better performance.
