Keep the oil in and the contaminants out with quality oil seals on your engine and driveline
Repco stock the right oil seal for your vehicle
Designed to prevent the leakage of oil or lubricants from your engine or driveline, your vehicle will comprise a number of oil seals. Whether a rear main seal, pinion seal or even just valve stem seals these are all integral to containing oils and fluids where they are needed most. Your local Repco store stocks the best in oil seals from Kelpro, Permaseal, Payen, ACL and more to ensure we have the right seal to stop the leaks.
As crucial components on your vehicle, oil seals are designed to keep oil contained within the engine and prevent contaminants from entering. Just some of the key oil seals found in a typical car engine are:
- Crankshaft Seals: Located at the front and rear of the engine, these seals prevents oil from leaking where the crankshaft exits the engine block. Found at the rear of the engine, the rear main seal prevents oil from leaking where the crankshaft connects to the transmission. Replacing a rear main seal can be labor-intensive, as it often requires removing the transmission to access the seal. Regular maintenance and monitoring for oil leaks can help identify potential seal issues early.
- Camshaft Seals: These seals are located at the ends of the camshaft(s) and prevent oil leaks from where the camshaft exits the engine head.
- Valve Cover Gasket: Although not a seal in the traditional sense, the valve cover gasket is crucial for preventing oil leaks from the top of the engine where the valve cover meets the cylinder head.
- Pinion Seal: A pinion seal is a critical component in the drivetrain of a vehicle. It is designed to prevent the leakage of lubricant from the differential housing where the pinion gear shaft exits.
Each of these oil seals plays a vital role in maintaining engine integrity by keeping oil where it is needed and preventing contamination. Regular inspection and maintenance of any oil seals are important to ensure the engine operates efficiently and to prevent leaks that could lead to engine or driveline component damage.
Whilst changing some oil seals can be easily achieved with basic tools others will require specific engine and drivetrain tools to assist in the process. As the lips of oil seals can be fragile it pays to use the right tools for the job to prevent tearing and damage to your seals when replacing.
