If the pump is in a wet area , condensation can rust it inside also."

"the only filter in them is a screen, as long as the oil stays clean, there's no reason to touch it. If you have a plastic opaque one with a red or black cap, not bad idea to take that off and clean it out once in a while does get a little sludgy in there. Good to look for cracks too.."
