Oil Pick Up/Strainer: Description and Operation
The plastic moulded oil pick-up is attached to the underside of the structural sump. It is immersed in the oil reservoir to provides a supply to the oil
pump during all normal vehicle attitudes. A castellated intake allows the supply to be maintained after any deformation of the sump pan (e.g. after
grounding). A mesh screen in the intake prevents debris from entering the oil system.
