Oil Seal 09282-12008

Function and technical context

The oil seal 09282-12008 is a radial sealing element that operates in the outboard motor lubrication system, sealing the shaft passage to prevent oil from escaping to the outside. With dimensions of 12 x 24 x 4.5 mm, this seal acts in continuous rotation zones where internal lubricant pressure could cause leaks if the sealing lip shows wear. Its function is critical: a faulty seal generates abnormal oil consumption, marine environment contamination and, in advanced cases, irreversible damage from insufficient lubrication in the motor's internal components. This reference covers a wide range of small displacement Suzuki outboard motors, both from the DF (four-stroke) and DT (two-stroke) series, making it a high-rotation part in marine service shops.

When to replace this part?

The most common symptoms of a deteriorated oil seal are the presence of oil stains or streaks in the shaft area, oil level in the crankcase dropping without apparent cause and burnt oil smell coming from the lower motor area. It is recommended to inspect the seal condition during each seasonal service or whenever the shaft is serviced for other maintenance work, taking advantage of the part being accessible. Replacing the seal preventively during a scheduled service avoids serious failures while underway and the high cost of emergency repair outside port.
