Where did you get that screen? That's the best looking one I've found, not that anyone but the guy changing the oil will ever see it!

I tried a similar screen,but lots of debris got sucked up anyway,and then I had to remove the screen each time I wanted to clean the front of the radiator (no a/c). It depends on what kind of plant debris you have on your roads,I suppose.

Every oil change when on the lift we blow out the entire area and it is a good thing as my blower setup for some reason even sucks in more air
