Positioned directly between the lower engine block crankcase split line and the steel or aluminum oil pan reservoir, its primary function is to establish a robust, oil-tight barrier. It prevents engine oil from seeping out under operational splash pressures, ensuring the vehicle's lubrication circuit maintains consistent oil levels. Engineered using an advanced AFM-series rubber-cork or elastomer composite material, it offers superior crush resistance, minimal torque relaxation, and resilience against aggressive engine oils and additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e VICTOR REINZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 71-12948-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4026634057864\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGasket Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium high-grade rubber-cork composite for optimized surface compliance and sealing resilience\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Pairing Rule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frequently used when performing routine oil service overhauls or as part of a complete lower block conversion kit (e.g., Victor Reinz 08-12948-01).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e To guarantee an unyielding seal, ensure the oil pan mounting flange is completely straight, free from previous sealant residues, and thoroughly degreased.
