CAT 4P-5500 Thick Oil Pump Scavenge Screen (17.42 mm)

Product Overview

The CAT 4P-5500 Thick Oil Pump Scavenge Screen is a genuine Caterpillar OEM engine lubrication system component designed to protect the oil pump by filtering contaminants from engine oil before the oil enters the scavenge pump circuit. With a thickness of 17.42 mm, this screen helps prevent damaging particles such as metal debris, dirt, and other contaminants from reaching critical lubrication components.

Installed within the oil pump system, the 4P-5500 screen allows oil flow while acting as a protective barrier against contamination. It is engineered for heavy-duty Caterpillar engines and power systems where reliable lubrication is essential for engine durability and performance.

Application Information

The CAT 4P-5500 Scavenge Screen is installed in the engine oil circulation system. Its primary functions include:

• Screening contaminants before oil reaches the scavenge pump
• Supporting clean oil circulation
• Protecting lubrication system components
• Helping maintain proper engine lubrication performance

A damaged or clogged scavenge screen can restrict oil flow and may contribute to lubrication system problems. Regular inspection during engine maintenance helps maintain reliable operation.

Additional Compatibility Information

Oil pump screens are engine-configuration-specific components. Before ordering, confirm compatibility using:

• Engine serial number (ESN)
• Machine Product Identification Number (PIN)
• Engine arrangement number
• Existing part number

Correct fitment ensures proper mounting, oil flow, and protection of internal engine components.

Benefits

Installing a genuine CAT 4P-5500 Thick Oil Pump Scavenge Screen helps:

• Protect the engine lubrication system
• Reduce contamination-related wear
• Maintain proper oil circulation
• Extend scavenge pump service life
• Improve engine reliability
• Reduce maintenance downtime
• Ensure OEM Caterpillar fit and performance
