Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code and seal position before installation, since fitment varies by model and year. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly, inspect the crankshaft for wear or scoring, and install the seal squarely to avoid lip distortion. For vehicles listed with Viton construction, use the seal as specified for the application. Verify rear-position fitment on Chrysler 300, Hyundai Sonata, and Mitsubishi Eclipse models before service.
