Abstract
A variable oil pump includes a pump housing, an oil pump rotor housed in the pump housing and rotationally driven, an adjustment member housed in the pump housing and adjusting an oil discharge amount from the oil pump rotor by being displaced due to a drive force while rotatably holding the oil pump rotor from an outer peripheral side, and a guide portion including a groove provided in the adjustment member and a pin provided on the pump housing and engaging with the groove. The guide portion guides relative displacement of the adjustment member with respect to the pump housing by engaging the groove and the pin with each other, and an inner surface of the groove and an outer surface of the pin come into line contact with each other along a direction in which the pin extends at an initial position where the adjustment member starts its displacement.
