Oil Pickup & Transmission Screen is used for protecting the engine oil pump and transmission hydraulics from large debris at the sump pickup and valve-body inlet. SAE J1858 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What SAE J1858 Means for Oil Pickup & Transmission Screen
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit SAE J1858. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
