When the oil seal material and the chemical are not compatible, there will be a chemical attack, which increases at high temperatures. The only way to remedy this is to select the right material for your application. If you’ll be dealing with harsh chemicals, choose oil seals that are made with reliable materials for their compatibility.

Oil seals are always exposed to a lot of chemicals, both mild and harsh chemicals. The seals react by showing some signs like cracks, blisters, and discoloration especially when the chemical is harsh. This clearly shows that the chemical is not compatible with the seal, which goes as far as affecting its cross-link density (increase or decrease). When the cross-link density increases, the seal material becomes harder, but when it decreases, the seal material becomes softer.

After the oil seal is positioned in the groove, apply even pressure to the oil seal using a seal driver or a similar tool. This will help to seat the oil seal firmly in the groove and prevent it from moving during use. Make sure to apply the pressure evenly and gently, as applying too much force can damage the oil seal or cause it to deform.

Regular maintenance of the distributor oil seal is important to ensure the proper functioning of the engine. In addition to replacing the seal when necessary, it is also important to inspect the seal for any signs of wear or damage during routine maintenance checks. Keeping the oil seal in good condition will help prevent oil leaks and preserve the engine's performance.Loosen the securing-clamp bolt at the base of the distributor, then carefully withdraw the distributor.
Oil seals are called rotary shaft seal or radial lip also.
Mechanical seals are another type of oil seal that relies on mechanical components to create a sealDIN
