Rislone has introduced a new engine rear main seal repair solution.

Often, when a vehicle has an oil-soaked starter, the problem can be frequently traced to a slow oil leak in the engine’s rear main seal. Unfortunately, this is a common cumulative effect of heat, age and mileage in older cars and trucks. While it is best to replace an oil-saturated and damaged starter, technicians also want to offer customers a solution to fix the leak that caused the problem in the first place.

Rislone’s Concentrated Rear Main Seal Repair is designed to help quickly and inexpensively solve rear main seal leaks. It features a high-tech blend with reinforced synthetic polymers specifically designed to expand and restore elasticity to renew main seals, as well as camshaft seals, O-rings, timing cover seals and other gaskets.

“What starts as a small drop of oil on the driveway here and there can escalate into a damaged starter and other expensive problems,” says Clay Parks, Vice President of Development for Rislone. “Many people won’t notice a rear main seal leak for a while because it is usually so gradual. Help your customers easily and cost-effectively protect their vehicles from further damage with Rislone Concentrated Rear Main Seal Repair.”

Most rear main seal leaks are caused by the drying, hardening and shrinking of the main seal, plus normal wear in the crankshaft and seal. Rear main seal leaks can start at just 100,000 to 120,000 km.

With today’s attention on keeping vehicles longer, it pays to help your customers keep an eye out for oil leaks so they can be stopped early—before they lead to bigger, more expensive problems.

Rislone Concentrated Rear Main Seal Repair is designed to work with all gasoline and diesel engines using conventional, high mileage and synthetic oil. Rislone says that by adding one bottle to the engine crankcase at or between oil changes, most leaks will stop within 150 km or two days of driving.

Rislone Concentrated Rear Main Seal Repair is available for distribution in case packs of six 500 ml bottles.
