RETEN ACEITE SUZUKI

Function and technical context

The oil seal is a sealing component that works in the lubrication system of the outboard motor, acting as a barrier between the internal areas with oil and the exterior. Its mission is to prevent the lubricant from escaping through the rotating axles - crankshaft, camshaft or other axles - avoiding oil losses that compromise the correct lubrication of the internal components. A deteriorated seal causes visible oil leaks, a drop in the lubricant level and, in serious cases, accelerated wear or seizure of the engine's moving elements, with consequences that can lead to major and costly breakdowns. Reference REC09283-10011 is manufactured to precisely conform to the dimensional specifications required by Suzuki outboard engines in the indicated range.

When to replace this part?

The most common symptoms of an oil seal in poor condition are stains or streaks of oil in the area of the shaft where the seal is located, a dropping oil level without apparent cause and, sometimes, the presence of bluish smoke if the lubricant reaches high temperature areas. It is recommended to inspect the condition of the seal during each seasonal maintenance or every time you intervene in the crankshaft or axle area, since the lip rubber hardens and cracks over time and thermal cycles. Replacing the seal preventively during any major inspection is a common practice among naval mechanics: the cost of the part is minimal compared to the repair derived from an engine seized due to lack of oil at sea.
