Question 154Motor Plants - QMED

The correct answer is D) metal disks. The lube oil strainer shown in the illustration MO-0057 is typically used on the reduction gear of a mid-size diesel engine. The strainer elements in this type of strainer consist of metal disks, which are designed to remove larger particles and contaminants from the lubricating oil before it enters the reduction gear. This helps to protect the reduction gear components from wear and damage. The other answer choices are incorrect because fibrous braid (A), wire mesh (B), and pleated paper (C) are not the typical strainer elements used in this type of lube oil strainer for a mid-size diesel engine reduction gear.
