Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.
Next, apply a small amount of grease to the seal lip(s) and the area of the shaft in contact with the seal. When using a double-lip seal, fill the small cavity between the two lips with grease as well. This both protects the lips during initial installation and break-in, and also acts as another barrier keeping contaminants out. When installing rubber-coated seals, apply lubricant to the outside diameter as well. This will help prevent the seal from rebounding or backing out from its mounting place.

- In conclusion, motor oil seals are an essential component of an engine, helping to prevent oil leaks and protect the engine from damage. Regular maintenance and inspection of these seals are important to ensure that they are functioning properly and protecting the engine as intended. By taking care of the motor oil seals, vehicle owners can help to prolong the life of their engine and keep it running smoothly for years to come.

Why Should You Choose Emerson for Your Oil Seal Needs?
Start the engine and check for oil leaks round the sump flange. Stop the engine and tighten the mountings.


Polyacrylate Oil Seals - Mostly selected for automotive and transmission uses, polyacrylate seals are able to withstand fuel, oil, ozone, sunlight and weather when used. With cars exposed to all these different fluids and elements, they are the perfect choice. However, they should not be used in low temperatures, as their flexibility weakens when cold.

Wear and oil loss remains two of the most frequent signs of engine seal failure and, if not paid attention to, it can give rise to a breakdown in the vehicle’s system. Regular maintenance and routine oil changes minimize the issues associated with oil seals and potential oil loss.
Fluoro natural rubber (FPM - FKM - Viton)
Cassette seals are designed to maximise grease or oil retention and protection against liquid or solid contaminants. These seals are provided with their own bushings in which dirt is kept out and oil/grease kept in by a multi-lip seal.
