Oil Pump Pickup For 15-276 Oil Pan

The Oil Pump Pickup For 15-276 Oil Pan by CANTON is a bolt-on replacement component engineered specifically for GM LS-series engines running shallow 5-5/8 inch deep oil pans. This pickup tube serves as the critical intake valve for your engine's lubrication system, drawing oil from the pan's sump and directing it toward the pump inlet. Builders and restorers rely on this component when upgrading to custom oil pan configurations, as factory pickups often sit too high or present clearance conflicts with modern pan designs and chassis modifications.

This pickup is designed with precision spacing and length to match the shallow pan profile, ensuring optimal oil flow without air ingestion during high-g cornering or track acceleration. The bolt-on design eliminates the need for welding, allowing straightforward installation during oil pan swaps or engine bay rebuilds. A properly positioned pickup prevents cavitation—the collapse of oil vapor bubbles that starves bearings of lubrication—which is especially critical in high-RPM LS builds where pump demand exceeds supply. The compact 6 x 2 x 12 inch form factor fits tightly within the pan geometry while maintaining sufficient standoff distance from the pan floor to avoid sediment ingestion.

Street rodders, drag racers, and LS swap enthusiasts consistently choose CANTON pickups when transitioning to aftermarket or fabricated shallow pans. Compatibility is direct with any GM LS block paired to a 15-276 oil pan configuration; cross-reference your specific pan model before ordering. Installation typically requires removing the oil pan and unbolting the original pickup from the pump body—a straightforward task within reach of any mechanic with basic engine bay experience. Weighing just 0.8 pounds, this pickup adds negligible mass while delivering the reliability needed for sustained performance driving.
