- In the engine, oil seals are crucial for preventing oil from leaking out of the crankshaft, camshaft, or other moving parts. Without these seals, oil leakage can lead to damage to the engine, decreased performance, and increased maintenance costs. Similarly, in the transmission, oil seals prevent the leakage of transmission fluid, which is essential for the proper functioning of gears and other components.
Synthetic Rubber Oil Seals - Styrene Butadiene Rubber oil seals, or just SBR oil seals, offer strong resistance to abrasions and lesions, making them an ideal seal for fast-moving machinery. With the ability to withstand extreme temperatures with its heat-aging qualities, they can be used in outdoor components. They are also seen as more cost-effective oil seals than natural rubber.

If the car has a manual gearbox , select first or reverse gear and put the handbrake full on. Otherwise, disconnect the battery and remove the starter motor .
• Fkm/viton rubber
The oil seal should be tough enough to withstand the pressure and the vibrations caused by the shaft and bore. Check if the oil seal is strong enough to tolerate the pressure and vibration.

This applies only to a mechanical fuel pump on the side of the engine.
Another important factor to consider is the temperature range in which the gasket will be used. Natural rubber gaskets have a broad temperature range, but it is crucial to select a gasket material that can withstand the specific temperature extremes of your application without losing its sealing properties.
