The screen on the oil pump, often referred to as the oil pump pickup screen or strainer, serves to filter out debris and contaminants from the oil before it enters the pump. This helps prevent damage to the pump and ensures that only clean oil circulates through the engine, thereby maintaining proper lubrication and reducing wear on engine components. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the screen are essential to prevent blockages that could lead to oil starvation and engine damage.
