| Changed oil and filter today but the " tappit " wrench went into hiding sooooooooooooooo I find out my 11/16 " 6 point fits better than my 12 point 24 mm metric .Everything went smoothly except getting the crankcase breather tube off, when I did it was clean'
I wonder why they bother with the oil sump screen and spring? looking at that after cleaning reminded me my 1960 VW had ONLY such a screen for a filter, it was much larger, with our standard oil filter why bother with that tiny screen? |

| The spring I understand, it holds the screen assembly in place, but why the screen filter in the 1st. place. Why not just the drain tappit? |

| Arguably an "overabundance of caution" it is intended to protect the oil pump from crap that ends up in the sump--though I have never seen one trap a thing. Nonetheless it could keep the oil flowing and prevent a massive engine failure. Almost all pressure lubricated engines have them, we just don't get to see them and be expected to clean them.

In 60+ years have never seen a pressure lubricated engine that did not have a screen on the oil pump intake... |

Hidden oil intake strainer, not hidden oil filter. |
