Oil Pump Control Solenoid (Nissan Juke)

[Mekks]

Was changing the oil on the wife's 2017 Nissan Juke today and noticed the connector for the oil pump control solenoid was broken off. No idea how long its been like that.

Its a $130 part, lowers oil PSI when ECU decides its not needed. Car is not throwing any cells and after some googling it appears a lot of people unplug/remove these for better oil PSI.

Would you replace or just let it ride as is?

I mean if you want to make it right then yes fix it. If you dont know how long its been non operational and not throwing codes simply ignore it like you never knew you found it.

Just ignore it if it is not causing any physical damage. Kind of like the headlight indicator bulb on my Frontier. It simply tells you if the lights are on. If they are on high beam the blue indicator light comes on. The truck will beep at you if you try to leave the lights on when you remove the key. The bulb went out and I just do not see the need.

I replaced the part today. Car seems to run smoother now. Thanks everyone.

This^^^^. It’s not dead year $130 compared to a monthly payment? I’d just fix it.
