Mercedes Engine Oil Pump Pickup Tube with Screen - Genuine Mercedes 2731800352

Product Information

An engine oil pump pickup tube is a vital component of the lubrication system that draws oil from the oil pan and delivers it to the oil pump. It typically includes a mesh screen to filter out debris and ensure only clean oil circulates through the engine. A properly functioning pickup tube maintains steady oil flow, which is essential for reducing friction, cooling engine parts, and preventing premature wear or failure.

• Low oil pressure warning light, due to restricted or inadequate oil flow.
• Engine knocking or ticking noises, caused by insufficient lubrication.
• Oil starvation and potential engine damage, if the tube becomes clogged, cracked, or loose.

About Genuine Mercedes

Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
