An Engine Oil Strainer acts as a preliminary filter, positioned before the oil pump, to capture large contaminants and debris that may be present in the engine oil. This helps protect the engine's internal components from wear and tear caused by these contaminants. The strainer's mesh or perforations are sized to capture particles while allowing unrestricted oil flow.

Attributes:
• Prevents damage to the oil pump by filtering out debris that could clog or damage its internal components
• Resists corrosion from engine oil and contaminants

Applications:
An Engine Oil Strainer captures debris and contaminants suspended in the oil, preventing them from circulating through the engine. The clean oil then flows through the strainer and enters the engine's lubrication system.
