Abstract
A slosh baffle for selective and retroactive installation in the oil pan of an in-line internal combustion engine for automotive vehicles, the slosh baffle being attachable to the rim of the oil suction strainer by snap-action assembly, its transverse orientation being determined by means of a saddle portion on the slosh baffle which engages an elbow of the oil suction line. Attachment to the strainer rim is obtained by means of several downwardly depending flexible snap hooks on the periphery of a supporting flange of the slosh baffle, in cooperation with separate centering lugs.
