Help keep engine oil sealed in at the back of the crankshaft with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Crankshaft Seal Kit, part number ABS333, listed by the manufacturer as a Rear Main Seal Set. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera (V6-3.0L), 2003-2011 Saab 9-3 (L4-2.0L), 2003-2007 Saturn ION (L4-2.2L), 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu (L4-2.2L), 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox (L4-2.4L), 2011-2017 Buick Regal (L4-2.0L and L4-2.4L) and 2013-2019 Cadillac ATS (L4-2.0L).
The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides against the rotating crankshaft. Signs this seal may need replacing include oil seeping or dripping between the engine and transmission, oil residue around the bell housing, and an oil level that drops between changes. Other gaskets and seals can leak in the same area, so confirm the source of the leak before replacing. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation procedure.
This part covers 76 applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of years, models and engine codes.
