What Are the Hazards of High Seal Oil Temperature?
1 Answers
High seal oil temperature can lead to a decrease in viscosity, potentially causing leaks and affecting the sealing effectiveness. Causes of Leaks: Oil seals are used to seal mechanical components of the oil, also known as oil rings, which isolate the parts of the driving components that need lubrication from the output components, preventing oil leakage. If the sealing ring is not installed, the sealing edges of the shaft neck are uneven, or the oil seal ages, it can lead to oil leakage in the vehicle. Most oil leaks occur at the front-end oil seal of the engine or the transmission half-shaft seal, typically resulting in seepage leaks. Generally, the engine has a valve cover gasket, engine cylinder gasket, and oil pan gasket. Once these three gaskets wear out, age, or deteriorate, they can cause oil leaks. It is recommended to regularly replace damaged oil seals and gaskets. Sealing Devices: If screws are not tightened properly or the guide wires slip, and if the oil pan screws are not tight enough, the seal between the engine body and the oil pan will degrade, leading to oil pan leaks. The oil pan screw washers are also crucial because they are made of relatively soft material and can easily deform under pressure, so they are recommended as one-time use items.
