A compressor, comprising:

• a housing including a fluid passage formed therein, wherein the fluid passage includes a channel portion, a remainder portion adjacent the channel portion, and shoulders formed on each side of the channel portion, wherein one of the shoulders is formed between the channel portion and the remainder portion, and wherein the fluid passage further includes a right circular cylindrical portion having a constant diameter and a frustoconical portion formed adjacent the right circular cylinder portion in a direction away from a fixed scroll of the compressor;
• and
• a fluid filter disposed in the fluid passage, wherein the fluid filter includes:
• a body portion including at least one retention feature configured to permit the fluid filter to be fixedly coupled in the compressor at a desired position within the fluid passage, wherein the at least one retention feature is received in the channel portion of the fluid passage, and wherein an inner diameter of the remainder portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the channel portion and an outer diameter of the at least one retention feature, so that movement of the fluid filter is prevented as the at least one retention feature is axially constrained by the shoulders formed on each side of the channel portion;
