Our sump screen is close to the pan.The holes are small and I can't help but think from knowing how bad it is for the AC VW that it can't be good for our car that has oil delivery,oil pump problems.
Hmmmm. Maybe a clue here. How many of these cars that have had more than one bearing failure, are lowered? Perhaps the oil pans have gotten smashed and restricted the flow to the oil pickup.

This may also explain why the person who has the custom pan doesnt have any troubles.

Just a thought to try to get to the bottom of this.
