The Corteco 028136H is an oil sump gasket designed to create a tight seal between the oil pan and the engine block, preventing oil leaks. This gasket is crucial for maintaining proper engine lubrication and protecting against oil loss. Manufactured in Japan, this gasket measures 20 x 130 x 165 mm and offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures and oil degradation, ensuring a long service life and reliable engine performance. This gasket basically seals the oil pan – what some folks call the oil sump – up to the bottom of the engine. It creates a watertight seal where those two parts meet. It stops oil from leaking out, plain and simple. It's a relatively simple part, but crucial. Think of your engine oil like the blood in your body. It needs to stay contained and circulating. The oil sump is the reservoir that holds the oil, and this gasket is what keeps it all from spilling out. Without a good seal here, you’re looking at oil hitting the road, and that’s never good. It sits right at the very bottom of the engine, so it takes a beating from road debris and temperature changes. This might seem like a small thing, but a leaking oil sump can cause a lot of problems. Obviously, losing oil lowers your oil level and can damage the engine pretty quickly. Low oil pressure will light up your dashboard and cause serious wear. But even a small leak can cause a mess, attract dirt, and even become a fire hazard. You’ll notice if you have a bad one – usually an oil spot where you park, or you might smell burning oil. A new gasket is a pretty inexpensive fix for a potentially expensive problem. You can find a good quality one at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually a straightforward DIY job if you’re comfortable getting your hands dirty, or any good mechanic can swap it out quickly. Quality you can count on: Oil Sump Gasket (MPN 028136H) comes with a 12-month warranty!
