Oil Pump Pickup Screen

The MELLING Oil Pump Pickup Screen (MEL244S) is a critical component for GM V6 engines, designed to fit within factory oil pans. This press-on style pickup screen filters debris and particulate matter before oil enters the pump's intake circuit, helping to prevent pump cavitation and internal engine damage. It is particularly useful for engine rebuilds, restorations, or high-mileage services.

This pickup screen features a fine-mesh design that effectively traps ferrous particles, carbon deposits, and sludge while allowing for unrestricted oil flow to the pump inlet. The press-on attachment method ensures a secure fit without the need for fasteners, simplifying installation and minimizing the risk of leaks. Its design is tailored to maintain optimal oil delivery under various engine operating conditions.

Technicians and engine builders often rely on this pickup screen during GM V6 oil pan service, especially when addressing worn or clogged original screens. It is an essential component for those rebuilding classic GM vehicles or setting up fresh engine assemblies. Proper fitment is assured when used with OEM and OEM-equivalent V6 stock pans.
