✅ Yes — but with caution:

Brands like GMB Japan o r AISIN if compatible offer better durability and seal quality.

If installing aftermarket, ensure its genuine, with steel impellers and high-temp rated seals.

❌ But beware:

Some aftermarket pumps may void warranty, especially if installed outside of a Changan service center.

Compatibility should be checked carefully — a wrong fit can cause belt misalignment o r leakage.
