déflecteur d'huile
oil baffle


Explanation:
Among all the many 'oil deflectors' in my TMs, I found just one occurrence of this term, from a previous translator. Now I don't know if their terminology research was better than mine or not — but it seems that as they used a non-obvious/literal term, they might have had some special reason for doing so — so I suggest this might at least be an avenue for further research!

  -> What ARE you talking about? This is neither "slavish' nor "dictionary"!! It is technical jargon as used in the industry — though it may or may not apply here.
