This part number, SS6284, is also associated with Schaeffler Global Number 413 6284 100 in the listed interchange data. If you are replacing a BMW timing cover seal on an M3, 5 Series, or X5, verify the position and engine notes against the vehicle listing before installation.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Oil seepage at the timing cover area
• Loss of sealing integrity from age or heat exposure
• Contamination entry around the engine cover sealing surface
• Seal wear caused by long-term engine operation
• Fitment issues when replacing a worn OE-style timing cover seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the bore diameter, outside diameter, width, and vehicle position before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the cover and mating area for wear, scoring, or debris that could affect the seal. Because fitment varies by model, engine configuration, and position, match the listed application details for your BMW M3, BMW X5, or other supported vehicle before service.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs seals using high-quality materials and application-specific specifications to meet vehicle manufacturer requirements. The SS6284 follows the listed dimensional standards and sealing construction for the applications shown, supporting consistent replacement selection for engine sealing service.
