008.540 Elring Gasket, oil sump

Elring's Oil Sump Gasket (MPN: 008.540) is designed to provide a secure seal between the oil sump and engine block in automotive engines. Made in Germany, this gasket measures 40.0 x 240.0 x 530.0 mm. Its technical advantages include improved engine protection against corrosion and wear, enhanced oil circulation, and reduced maintenance needs. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions. Oil sump gaskets create a static seal between the oil pan and the engine block, preventing oil leakage. These gaskets are positioned at the lowest point of the engine’s oil system. Common materials include cork, rubber, paper, or multi-layer steel (MLS) depending on engine design and performance requirements. Precise sealing is critical to maintain oil pressure and lubrication. Gasket designs often incorporate embossed beads or coatings to enhance sealing and conform to uneven mating surfaces. Proper torque sequencing during installation is essential for long-term reliability.
