Oil Pump Pickup - Nissan

The Moroso Oil Pump Pickup for Nissan 4-cylinder engines is a bolt-on replacement component designed for builders and mechanics who demand reliable oil delivery under demanding conditions. This pickup tube feeds pressurized oil directly from the pan to the engine's oil pump, ensuring consistent lubrication flow to critical engine bearings and journals. Whether you're rebuilding a stock engine or modifying a high-performance setup, a quality pickup tube is non-negotiable—inadequate oil supply leads to bearing wear, catastrophic engine failure, and costly repairs.

This Moroso unit is engineered with precision-formed tubing and a strategically positioned intake strainer to minimize restrictions while filtering out debris before it reaches the pump. The bolt-on design allows for straightforward installation without extensive fabrication, and the compact dimensions (7.3 x 3.2 x 8.7 inches) ensure proper fitment in the cramped confines of the pan assembly. Weighing just 1.2 pounds, it adds negligible mass while providing the flow capacity modern Nissan 4-cylinder engines require, particularly in street and track applications where oil temperature and pressure stability are critical.

Technicians restoring original engines or upgrading fuel-injected Nissan four-cylinders will appreciate the straightforward fitment and proven reliability. This pickup is ideal for anyone replacing a worn or damaged original tube, or for builders consolidating parts during a complete engine overhaul. Proper installation requires removing the oil pan and positioning the pickup intake below the minimum oil level to prevent cavitation—a critical detail that ensures uninterrupted pump feed during cornering, acceleration, and sustained operation. For Nissan 4-cylinder platforms, this bolt-on pickup delivers the dependability your engine rebuild deserves.
