The functionality of the oil filter seal

The DT SPARE PARTS brand Seal, oil filter housing is made of elastic rubber, which should help prevent oil leakage from under the oil filter. When installing, the oil filter must be screwed tightly in so that the oil is not squeezed out of the system.

If an oil leak is found in the area of ​​the body, then, most likely, the seal is out of order; in rare cases, the body itself may be damaged. This problem requires replacement of the filter housing; a separate replacement of the seal is usually not carried out. In this case, a new sealing ring is installed additionally. The procedure is quite laborious, after which it is necessary to measure the oil level and, if necessary, add it to the system.
