How to Specify Oil Pickup & Transmission Screen

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Inspect the screen whenever the oil pan comes off — metal or sludge on it indicates internal problems.
  • Always replace the O-ring or gasket on the pickup.

Common Mistakes

  • Ignoring a sludged pickup, which causes low oil pressure.
  • Using a finer screen than specified, which restricts cold oil flow.

When Oil Pickup & Transmission Screen Is Not the Right Choice

Not the engine oil filter — it only stops large debris.
