The internal combustion engine of modern cars consists not only of large metal parts, but also of small auxiliary components. Some of them are completely invisible, like the gasket of the oil pan of the crankcase, which ensures the tightness of a small container. Thanks to the use of a seal, grease leaks are avoided, ensuring smooth operation of the motor. Manufacturers use a wide variety of raw materials, materials in the production process. It can be either rubber or a reliable cork or budget cardboard.

The resource depends on the quality of the components and on the conditions in which the car is operated. Engineers do not recommend reusing gaskets due to the low degree of reliability. Even an outwardly intact material usually does not last long, no matter how good a sealant is used. Minor savings can turn into serious problems along the way, so it is wise to buy a spare part and install it during a scheduled engine repair or if there is a leak.
