A sump for use with a transmission or lubricating system of an internal combustion engine includes a sump pan which has a partition wall supported therein, the partition wall having an opening therethrough in which is positioned a filter element. The partition wall divides the pan into an upper chamber and a lower chamber with a suction tube that passes through the partition wall and projects, into the lower chamber. Dirty oil pools in the upper chamber and then passes through the filter element into the lower chamber by gravity and by suction created by a recirculation pump attached to the suction tube. In order to keep the partition from flexing so that the filter element restricts flow of oil in the lower chamber to the suction tube, a plurality of spacers are mounted between a frame of the filter element and the floor of the lower chamber. The spacers maintain a gap, which gap provides a channel allowing filtered oil to flow without undue restriction or blockage to the suction tube.
