845.860 Elring Gasket, oil sump

An essential part for any engine, the Oil Sump Gasket (MPN: 845.860) prevents oil leaks by creating a tight seal around the oil sump. Produced in Germany by Elring, this gasket is designed to withstand high temperatures and provide long-lasting performance. Its dimensions are 19.0 x 402.0 x 1050.0 mm. 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.
