Transfer Box Oil Seal

What is a Transfer Box Oil Seal?
The transfer box oil seal is a component in the transfer case of a four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle. Its primary function is to create a barrier that prevents the leakage of oil from the transfer case. The transfer case is responsible for distributing power to both the front and rear axles and may contain various gears and components.

The oil seal is typically situated at the point where the driveshaft connects to the transfer case. It ensures that the lubricating oil inside the transfer case remains contained, preventing it from leaking out and contaminants from entering. A properly functioning transfer box oil seal is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the lubrication system, preventing damage to internal components, and ensuring the efficient transfer of power between the front and rear wheels. Regular inspection and replacement of the transfer box oil seal as needed are important for the longevity and reliability of the vehicle's four-wheel-drive system.
