[0002] Oil seal is a common term for general sealing components; simply put, it's a seal for lubricating oil. It's a mechanical component used to seal grease. Oil seals are essential in the production of automotive transmissions, playing a crucial role in preventing lubricating oil leakage and maintaining the internal sealing of the transmission. Oil seals require grease to be applied to their outer circumference to reduce friction, prevent leakage, enhance sealing performance, and protect the mechanical components.
