Corteco 005565S Oil Drain Plug Seal Ring

Description

This Corteco oil drain plug seal ring is a vital component for maintaining a leak-free engine oil system. It's installed with the oil drain plug to create a tight seal, preventing oil seepage and ensuring proper lubrication. This seal ring is 30 x 75 x 155 mm and is manufactured in Germany. This ring enhances engine reliability by preventing oil loss, which protects vital components from wear and tear and helps maintain optimal engine performance.

Key Features & Benefits

These little rings, they’re basically a crush washer. They create a tight seal between the oil drain plug and your engine’s oil pan. When you tighten the drain plug, the ring compresses, filling any imperfections. It prevents oil from leaking out. They’re usually made of aluminum, copper, or sometimes a composite material. It’s a small part, but it plays a critical role in maintaining your engine’s oil supply. Every time you change your oil, you should be replacing this. It sits right where the drain plug screws into the oil pan, sealing that connection. Without a good seal there, you’ve got a potential oil leak.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Oil leaks, even small ones, are never good. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, and losing it can cause serious damage. This seal ring isn’t expensive, and it's honestly one of those preventative maintenance items that can save you a lot of headache and money down the road. You'll notice if one fails, generally. You’ll see oil dripping from that area after an oil change, or you might even smell burning oil if it's leaking onto a hot exhaust part. We carry a bunch of different sizes and materials – you can find them on sites like Fixparts Online, usually pretty cheap. It's worth grabbing a few when you’re doing your oil change, just to be safe.
