The SKF 16893 timing cover seal for the 2006-2015 Hyundai Sonata and other vehicles keeps lubricants in and contaminants out of the engine.
- SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has built seals for more than a hundred years.
- Made to specific designs, with materials matched to the application and its environment.
- Protects against dirt and water.
- Tested design and materials for correct fit.
A worn engine timing cover seal can show up as oil seepage around the timing cover or a film of oil on the parts below it. Before you replace the seal, rule out other oil leaks nearby, such as gaskets and neighboring seals, because several sources can leave similar traces.
This seal is listed for a wide range of Hyundai, Subaru, Kia, Toyota and Saab models, including the 2005-2009 Subaru Outback and the 2004-2013 Subaru Forester. If your car isn't named here, run its year, make, model and engine through the "Vehicles it fits" section before you order.
