Oil-Pump Pickup Screen

The MELLING oil pump pickup screen is an essential engine lubrication component designed to protect your oil pump from debris and contaminants that can cause catastrophic internal damage. This press-on pickup screen is engineered for engines requiring reliable filtration at the pump inlet, preventing metal particles, varnish buildup, and foreign matter from entering the oil delivery system. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, engine rebuild work, or addressing lubrication concerns in high-mileage engines, this pickup screen serves as the first line of defense for optimal engine health and longevity.

This oil pump pickup screen features a 0.594 inch inlet tube connection and is constructed from durable steel for corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding engine environments. The press-on design allows straightforward installation without specialized tools or permanent modifications to your oil pan or pump assembly. The steel mesh construction provides effective particle filtration while maintaining adequate flow rates to ensure consistent oil pressure and delivery throughout the engine. MELLING's proven engineering ensures the screen won't collapse under vacuum or restrict critical oil flow during cold starts or high-RPM operation.

Engine builders, restoration specialists, and DIY mechanics trust MELLING pickup screens for original equipment performance and reliability. Installation is straightforward—the pickup screen press-fits onto the inlet tube within the oil pan, requiring no modifications or adhesives. This component is ideal for anyone rebuilding a classic engine, replacing worn lubrication components, or maintaining engines in industrial or automotive applications where oil contamination prevention is critical. Always verify inlet tube diameter compatibility before ordering to ensure proper fit on your specific engine block and oil pump assembly.
