Honda oil pickup gasket 15221-PW0-S01 – B16/B18/B20 engines

The Honda oil pickup gasket 15221-PW0-S01 is a small but critical part of the lubrication system. It seals the joint between the oil pickup tube and the oil pump, helping the engine maintain correct oil pressure even at high rpm.

A worn or leaking oil pickup gasket can cause drops in oil pressure, brief loss of lubrication at higher revs and accelerated wear of bearings and other internal components. For this reason it is strongly recommended to replace this gasket during every engine rebuild, as well as whenever the oil pump or pickup tube is removed.
