The automatic transmission oil filter O-ring performs an important function in sealing the connection between the oil filter and the automatic transmission housing. It prevents leaks of transmission fluid, which is essential for transmission lubrication and operation.
Design:
* The ring is usually made of rubber or other elastic materials.
*Has a round or square cross section.
* There is a hole in the center of the ring for installation on the filter rod.
* The outer diameter of the ring corresponds to the diameter of the filter housing.
Functions:
*Seal: Creates a tight seal between the filter and housing, preventing transmission fluid leaks.
* Pressure maintenance: Helps maintain the required transmission fluid pressure in the automatic transmission system.
* Contaminant Control: Prevents dirt, debris and foreign particles from entering the transmission system.
Service:
The automatic transmission oil filter O-ring must be replaced every time the filter is removed and installed.
*Recommended Inspection and Replacement: Every time the transmission is serviced or the transmission fluid is changed.
* Symptoms of wear or damage: transmission fluid leaks around the automatic transmission oil filter.
Choice:
When choosing an automatic transmission oil filter sealing ring, it is important to consider:
* Automatic transmission type: Different types of automatic transmissions have filters with different sizes and shapes of o-rings.
* Material: Select rings made from materials that are compatible with the transmission fluid used in your automatic transmission.
* Size and Shape: Make sure that the ring matches the diameter of the filter and the automatic transmission housing.
The use of high-quality automatic transmission oil filter O-rings is critical to ensuring the tightness of the transmission system and protecting it from damage.
