Detailed Description

Elring 293.946 is specified for a broad range of import vehicles, including Mitsubishi L200, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Elantra, and Kia Rio applications. It is used where the crankshaft passes through the engine housing and a stable oil seal is required to control leakage at the front or timing-end position. This part cross-references MAHLE 47918 and Victor Reinz 81-53246-00 for the same application.

The seal dimensions and right-hand twist swirl design are important for proper installation and sealing performance. When replacing a crankshaft seal, matching the inside diameter, outside diameter, thickness, and rotation design is essential for correct fitment.

What It Helps Solve

• Engine oil leakage at the crankshaft seal area
• Oil seepage from the timing-end or front engine position
• Seal wear caused by age, heat, and crankshaft rotation
• Contamination around the crankshaft opening from failed sealing surfaces
• Loss of sealing integrity during crankshaft service or timing work

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions and rotation style before installation. Confirm whether your vehicle uses the front or timing-end crankshaft seal location, since fitment varies by engine and model year. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the crankshaft journal for wear or scoring before installing the new seal.

Compatible With select applications including Fits 2010-2015 Mitsubishi L200, front; Fits 2004-2012 Hyundai Elantra; and Fits 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson. Additional vehicle coverage includes Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, Outlander, Lancer, and Hyundai Sonata applications listed in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized name in engine sealing systems, and this part is built to the listed dimensional and material specifications for accurate replacement use. Part number 293.946 should be matched to the vehicle’s exact engine seal requirements before installation.
