ACDelco Engine Oil Pump Screen
ACDelco Engine Oil Pump Screens: OE Engineering for GM Engines
When it comes to safeguarding an engine's lubrication system, few components are as quietly critical as the oil pump screen — and few brands carry the engineering authority to get it right quite like ACDelco. As the premier supplier of GM Original Equipment replacement parts, ACDelco designs its engine oil pump screens to the same exacting standards that were used when your vehicle rolled off the assembly line.
The engine oil pump screen — also called the oil pump pickup tube and screen — sits submerged in the oil pan and acts as the first line of defense for the entire oiling system. Its mesh filter prevents debris, sludge particles, and contaminants from being drawn into the oil pump and circulated through engine bearings, galleries, and other precision surfaces. A clogged, damaged, or improperly fitted screen can starve the pump of oil, leading to catastrophic pressure loss and accelerated wear. This makes using a correctly spec'd, OEM-quality replacement absolutely essential during engine rebuilds, oil pump replacements, or any time the oil pan is removed.

ACDelco's Engine Oil Pump Pickup Tube and Screen assemblies are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors — representing the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by GM for GM vehicles.
