Default sc400 oil pump

I'm changing the timing belt, water pump, and front main seal on my sc400 the car has just over 200k my question is should I change the oil pump as well?

Not unless you oil pressure is below spec. I wouldn't though Most of the time their good for long *** time.

Thank you. I've had no issues with this oil pump, oil pressure if near perfect.
So I don't think I'll be replacing it.
