A gasket is one of the most important parts of any vehicle. Here is a look at what a gasket is and what it does. Also, you'll understand where the gaskets are located inside your vehicle and when they should be replaced.
What is a Gasket?
A gasket is a protective seal that separates the components inside one part of the vehicle from outside elements. For instance, an oil pan gasket will protect your oil from dirt, dust and other foreign particles.
Where are the Gaskets Located?
You can find hundreds of gaskets all over your vehicle. These gaskets are located inside the engine, the fuel system, the oil pan, the exhaust system, and other places.
When Should a Gasket Be Replaced?
There is no hard and fast rule when you should replace your gaskets. It really depends on how hard you drive your vehicle. The harder you drive your vehicle, the more often you should replace your gaskets.
