Keep engine oil sealed at the camshaft and help address leaks with the MAHLE Engine Camshaft Seal / Timing Cover Seal, P/N 48392 — the same part is listed under both names. This black rubber, OEM-standard-grade seal mounts stationary in the engine bore while its lip contacts the rotating camshaft, designed to match the original part's fit and install without modification. It serves L4-1.8L, L4-2.0L, and L4-2.4L engines across Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Jeep, Mitsubishi, and Plymouth vehicles from 1995-2013; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full 37-application list.
- Black rubber, OEM-standard grade: Engineered to seat against the camshaft journal and maintain an oil-tight interface.
- Stationary seal body: The seal stays fixed in the bore; only its lip contacts the rotating camshaft, isolating oil at the cam exit point.
- Application-specific quantity: Some applications require 1 seal, others require 2 — confirm via the Buyer's Guide for your exact engine. Each package contains 1 seal.
- Country of origin: Taiwan.
If oil seeping from the camshaft area or unexplained oil loss suggests the seal is the cause, MAHLE 48392 is an OE-standard drop-in replacement. Diagnosis is recommended, as these symptoms can share causes with other engine seals.
