Dont forget the sump filter!

How do you get at this filter?

Just occurred to me after I read dougyt’s blog about doing an oil change.
Dont forget theres a wire mesh filter in the sump, I took out the crank on my z400 due to oil starvation, as its not mentioned in the manual, when I was a yoof.
Especially worth a look if you’ve just rebuilt your engine with silicone sealant as any bits and bobs that get squeezed out rattle round in the sump go squishy and then flatten out on the gauze when they get hoovered up.
Pain in the arse to check but is cheaper and easier than fitting a fresh engine.

Take the sump off, (its in the name if you think about it). 🙄

Sorry mate…. 😯

might that also be called the oil pump filter sir ??

Possibly, but then again any oil filter is an oil pump filter, no pump no oil no filtration!
I stand by my ill founded statement!

i will have to agree with you sir ,
