Detailed Description

The Melling 378S pickup tube and screen assembly supplies oil to the pump while filtering out debris that can enter the lubrication system from engine wear or extended oil change intervals. Its galvanized steel construction and molded assembly design support consistent oil flow and help protect the pump from contaminants that can affect pressure control and engine lubrication. Part number 378S is a practical replacement when servicing the oil pump on applications such as Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Hummer H3, Hummer H3T, and Isuzu i-370.

Melling recommends replacing the pickup tube and screen during oil pump service. For Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon applications, this part number 378S is a direct service component for the lubrication system, and it also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 8-12588-480-0, 224-15088) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restricted oil pickup caused by debris in the sump
• Oil flow issues related to a worn or contaminated screen

• Lubrication concerns from extended oil change intervals
• Engine damage risk tied to poor oil supply

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the pickup tube and screen as part of oil pump service and verify proper seating and alignment before reassembly.
