It's been recommended to replace the rubber seal on the oil pickup tube to prevent low oil pressure due to a leaky seal.

Mine had never been replaced so it made sense to do it while the engine was out and the oil pan was off (5 minute job). My 22 year old original seal was a bit deformed.

Interesting. Looks like you have a bolt down for your tube and a thick seal. Mine simply slides in with a small o-ring seal.
