Foam inhibitors: This additive does exactly what it sounds like. Foam inhibitors keep motor oil from forming foam and bubbles. If foam and bubbles were to form, the oil would be unable to coat the important parts of the engine and keep it cool.
Amongst the several applications of oil seals, these are the most common three applications – o-rings, spring seals, and lip seals.
What is an oil seal and how does it work?


The shaft on which the oil seal is mounted has to be ground to a rough surface finish. The shaft also should be hardened to prevent grooves forming on the shaft when the pressure is exerted by the spring on the seal. The area where the seal is fitted also has to be ground to prevent grooves that tend to wear out the lip of the oil seal faster than normal.
Purpose of an Oil Seal
Does it mean the seal stops the leakage completely? Well, on the practical grounds yes because there is no ‘visible leakage’.
Metal-cased oil seals are usually installed in a housing bore made of the same material. This allows for equal expansion and contraction of the materials during operation, preventing leakage. This type performs best when used in a steel housing.
In addition to their reliability and durability, floating oil seals are also easy to install and maintain
. These seals do not require complex installation procedures or special tools, making them a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs. With proper care and regular inspection, floating oil seals can continue to provide effective sealing performance for years to come.Ethylen-Propylen-Dien-Kautschuk (EPDM)
