Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Drain the engine oil completely. Clean the drain plug hole and the plug itself to remove any old gasket material or debris.
2. Positioning the Ring: Slide the Febi Bilstein 24359 Seal Ring onto the drain plug, ensuring it sits flush against the plug’s threaded section.
3. Threading the Plug: Hand‑tighten the plug into the sump until it is snug. Then use a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer’s recommended torque value (typically between 10–15 Nm for most passenger cars).
4. Final Checks: Inspect the seal area for any gaps or misalignment. Refill the engine with fresh oil and start the engine to check for leaks.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the seal ring during every major service interval, especially if you notice a drop in oil pressure or an oil leak around the drain plug area.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals on the rubber component; mild detergents are sufficient for cleaning.
• If the ring shows signs of cracking, hardening, or excessive wear, replace it immediately to prevent oil loss and potential engine damage.
