Help keep engine oil sealed in at the back of the crankshaft with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Crankshaft Seal Kit ABS873, a rear main seal set for select Toyota, Lexus and Lotus V6 models. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2006 Lexus GS300 (V6-3.0L), 2006-2015 Lexus IS250 (V6-2.5L), 2007-2020 Lexus RX350 (V6-3.5L), 2007-2011 and 2014-2020 Toyota Camry (V6-3.5L) and 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma (V6-3.5L).
The rear main seal stays stationary while its lip rides on the rotating crankshaft, holding oil inside the engine. As a seal ages it can wear and let oil seep past. Signs this part may need replacing include oil drips or residue where the engine meets the transmission and an oil level that drops between changes. Leaks from other seals and gaskets can look similar, so confirm the source first. If a worn rear main seal is the cause of the leak, this engine crankshaft seal kit replaces it. Reaching the seal typically involves separating the transmission from the engine; follow the vehicle service information for the procedure.
