An oil scavenge system for a gas turbine engine comprising an oil tank and at least one bearing chamber. The oil scavenge system comprises at least one primary scavenge pump, a manifold, a secondary scavenge pump, a deaerator and a filter unit. The at least one primary scavenge pump is configured to pump oil from the at least one bearing chamber to the manifold whilst raising the pressure of the oil from a starting pressure to a first pressure elevated with respect to the starting pressure. The manifold is pressurised to substantially maintain the oil at said first pressure. The secondary scavenge pump is configured to pump oil from the manifold at the first pressure and to raise the pressure of the oil to a second pressure elevated with respect to the first pressure before pumping the oil to the deaerator and through the filter unit to the oil tank.
