Re: Diesel Engine Debris Q
I am pretty sure that no harm will be done and you do not have to give this issue another thought.
The oil pump pick-up tube has a big metal screen on it, to filter out big pieces of debris. Chances are, unless it floats on top of the oil, it will become sucked against the screen and stay there. This screen is made to be big, so it can tolerate a fair amount of debris on it without impeding flow.
Unless the sticker dissolves or gets shredded into tiny pieces, it will never get to the oil filter. If it is shredded, the filter will get it, with no harm done and no flow impedance.
Possibly it may float around the oil pan until the next oil change. If you are really concerned, drain the new engine oil into a really clean bucket. The sticker may float out in the oil. You can remove it, then put the oil back in the engine.
