better oil pickup filter?

better oil pickup filter?
is there a better option or a way to modify the oil pickup filter?
I wanted to have a better strainer before the oil pump so metal shavings don't get into oil pump and destroy it and lose oil pressure and destroy rest of the motor.
I don't mean having an oil filter before and after oil pump
but just curious if anyone seen or modified the oil pickup to filter slightly smaller particles that stock mesh?

Re: better oil pickup filter?
Doing that will inhibit oil flow, and will cause the same type of damage a low oil level will. You also risk collapsing the filter screen itself. There is a reason that oil filters come with a overflow bypass valve: Contaminated flow is better than no flow at all.
A coarse screen is all you need. If you are particularly ****, use a metallic drain plug and an oil filter magnet.
