SKF 15822 Engine Oil Pump Seal

Engine Oil Pump Seal Overview

SKF 15822 is an engine oil pump seal built for sealing performance in demanding engine environments. It uses a nitrile sealing surface and precise dimensions to help maintain proper lubricant control where the oil pump interfaces with the engine.

Compatible With Lexus LS400 and Lexus SC400 applications from 1996-2000, this seal is a fitment-based replacement for vehicles that require exact sealing dimensions. The SKF 15822 part number is also referenced by several interchange numbers for the same application.

Key Features

• Nitrile sealing surface for reliable oil resistance.
• Precision width, outside diameter, and shaft diameter for application-specific fit.
• Engine oil pump seal for controlling lubricant flow at the pump interface.
• SKF sealing design backed by long-standing seal engineering experience.

Detailed Description

SKF 15822 is an engine oil pump seal engineered around specific dimensional requirements: 0.315 width, 2.176 outside diameter, and 1.575 shaft diameter. The nitrile sealing surface is selected for use in oil-exposed engine environments, where maintaining a stable seal is critical to keeping lubricants in and contaminants out. SKF 15822 is a direct-fit sealing component for Lexus LS400 and Lexus SC400 models in the 1996-2000 range.

SKF has a long history in seal development, including early integrated shaft seal innovation and continued refinement of bonding and material selection. That engineering background is reflected in the SKF 15822 seal construction, which is made to specific design requirements for the application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1173553, 0024472676) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Oil seepage at the oil pump sealing point.
• Loss of lubricant containment in the engine.
• Contamination entering the oil pump area.
• Seal wear caused by age and heat exposure.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the application. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the mating area for wear or damage that could affect sealing performance. Use standard seal installation practices to avoid distortion during placement.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to specific designs using premium materials and quality-controlled production methods. The brand’s seal engineering heritage and application-focused construction support consistent sealing performance in engine service.
