Oil filters rely on secure seals to prevent leaks and maintain optimal oil pressure within the engine. A poorly sealed filter can cause oil leaks, leading to decreased lubrication, increased wear on engine components, and potential engine failure. Premium lathe cut rubber gaskets from Grand River Rubber & Plastics offer a consistent, high-quality seal, which is crucial for preventing leaks. Precision-cut lathe cut rubber gaskets provide a cost-effective, reliable seal compared to other types of gaskets, such as molded or die-cut options.
