Significant Technical Input
Engine oil pumps have a excessive amount of capacity. It takes a lot of bearing clearance or other issue for them to not be able to keep up with demand.

There was a situation with Legacy or Loyale pumps in the past that caused them to push the front seal out and crate a leak, but as far as I know it was never an issue for the SVX. I suppose some dealer techs just remembered the problem and mindlessly decided the SVX was included in that TSB or maybe they just thought a leaking o-ring or seal was good enough excuse to hose the customer for a pump.
