What is the Oil Filter Housing Gasket all about?

Oil is vital for a running engine; it must have the right viscosity and be changed on a regular basis. As the oil passes through your engine, it picks up debris and particles. If left unchecked, the debris will cause serious damage to your engine. The solution is an oil filter – it does exactly what the name implies: it filters the oil and removes particulates before they have a chance to damage engine components.

Depending on the make and model you drive, you may have an internal or an external oil filter. External filters are the most common in the US, and are primarily used on American cars and Asian imports. However, many European imports use internal filters. External filters are mounted under the engine, located near the front of the bottom. Most internal filters are installed into a sealed housing at the top of the engine.

Both external and internal filters attach to the housing, which mounts to the engine and requires a gasket to keep engine oil from leaking out around it. Over time, this gasket will become brittle and crack, allowing oil to leak out.

Keep in mind:

  • Oil filter housing gasket leaks can and should be caught during basic maintenance.
  • It may require some diagnosis to determine if the leak comes from the filter housing gasket, or from another area of the engine.
  • All gaskets will eventually break down and wear out, so replacement is a possibility for all vehicles.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is lifted and supported on jack stands oil and filter are removed
  • The defective oil filter housing gasket is removed
  • The new oil filter housing gasket is installed
  • The vehicle is removed from jack stands
  • The vehicle is started and checked for oil leaks and filter operation

Our recommendation:

Ensuring that oil leaks are repaired is critical for your engine to operate smoothly. Work with one of our expert mechanics to monitor oil leaks and provide sound advice and guidance on when they should be addressed.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Oil Filter Housing Gasket?

  • Oil dripping from the oil filter on an external, bottom mounted filter
  • Oil leaking around the intake manifold on a top mounted, internal oil filter

How important is this service?

Given the importance of the oil filter to the operation and health of your engine, replacing a failed oil filter housing gasket is vital. Even a minor leak can pose a serious threat quickly.

Mercedes-Benz C230 L4-2.3L Turbo - Car is not starting - Pinellas Park, Florida
I've never used this type of service before and was hesitant, which I'm sure most would be. But if Jonathan is was to expect from other professionals working for Your Mechanic, than I'm completely sold. Jonathan arrived on time and jumped right in. Prior to his arrival I had watch a Youtube video on the symptoms of my vehicle. The video I watched had a very skilled mechanic going through several procedures to drill down to the specific problem, but clearly the guy in the video seemed like he works with Mercedes all the time, so I was concerned what type of knowledge Jonathan might have on a Mercedes. Jonathan arrived, popped my hood, had me start the car, etc. He then proceeded to run through the same checks I just watched in the video! Not only that, I could clearly see Jonathan's skill level with a Mercedes. This man knew where everything was without hesitation. He is an extreme, highly skilled professional Mercedes mechanic. I can say this without a doubt. My wife had driven my car the day before, and it stalled on her in the middle of the row. The vehicle had been running rough before then. Jonathan checked to see if I was getting fuel to the engine, he then checked the fuel pump to make sure that it was starting when the vehicle turned on. And that when he asked 'is there fuel in the car?'. I was like, well it was a 1/4 a tank before my wife drove. Jonathan said go get some gas and I'll wait. Ran to the store, put 2 gallons in a portable tank, added the fuel and in started right up. Jonathan asked me to drive it around the block just to be sure, which I did and everything was fine. There is no doubt in my mind that if I would have taken this to a shop, I would have walked out with a $500 bill and a new fuel pump. Jonathan just earned Your Mechanic a customer for life. This man is worth his weight in gold (and then some). Needless to say - i'm extremely impressed. And embarrassed that my wife ran the car out of gas ;) Jonathan was friendly, professional, helpful, on time and most importantly honest.

Chris was professional and knowledgeable. I doubt I will go back to a garage again. This was a much better overall experience. How did I not know about mobile mechanics and Chris sooner?
