Oil Pickup Pipe / Strainer Gasket – Mazda MX-5 MK1 & MK2 (1989–2005) • B6BF-14-248

Oil Pickup Pipe / Strainer Gasket – Mazda MX-5 MK1 & MK2 • B6BF-14-248

Replacement aftermarket oil pickup pipe gasket for Mazda MX-5 MK1 / NA and MK2 / NB, including MK2.5 / NB-FL, 1.6L and 1.8L petrol models (1989–2005).

This replacement oil strainer gasket is designed to seal the connection between the engine oil pickup pipe and the oil pump. It plays an important role in maintaining a sealed oil supply path, allowing the pump to draw engine oil from the sump and circulate it through the lubrication system.

The oil pickup pipe is located inside the engine sump and draws oil through a strainer before supplying it to the engine oil pump. A secure seal at the pickup connection is essential to prevent unwanted air entering the suction side of the oil system.

Over time, sealing gaskets can deteriorate, become compressed or sustain damage during engine disassembly. A compromised gasket can contribute to reduced oil pump efficiency, inconsistent oil pressure or lubrication problems.

This gasket is a useful replacement when removing the sump, servicing the oil pickup assembly, replacing the engine oil pump or carrying out a complete engine rebuild. Replacing the gasket during disassembly helps ensure that the pickup connection is correctly resealed when the engine is reassembled.

Useful tools / consumables: Socket set, torque wrench, suitable gasket removal tools, oil drain pan, cleaning cloths, engine degreaser and the correct engine sump sealing compound.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Advanced. Replacement requires access to the internal oil pickup assembly, normally involving engine oil draining, sump removal and disconnection of the pickup pipe. Correct sealing, sump reassembly and oil system preparation are essential.

Installation / service notes: Drain the engine oil and remove the sump as required to access the oil pickup pipe. Carefully remove the existing gasket and clean both mating surfaces without allowing debris into the lubrication system. Inspect the pickup pipe, strainer and oil pump connection for damage or contamination. Install the replacement gasket using the correct engine assembly procedure and tighten the pickup pipe fasteners to the manufacturer's specification. Reassemble and reseal the sump using the appropriate sealant, refill with suitable engine oil and confirm correct oil pressure and leak-free operation before normal engine use.
