Parts for your 2009 Ford Escape-Oil seals

2009 Ford Escape oil seals — what they do and when to sort them

Based on technical sources including the Ford Workshop Manual for the 2009 Escape (Engine 303-01, Automatic Transaxle 307-01/308-07A 6F35, Transfer Case/PTU 308-07B, Rear Drive Axle 205-00) and the Motorcraft parts catalogue, oil seals are very much used on this model. They’re fitted throughout the engine, transmission, and driveline to keep fluids where they belong.

Oil seals exist to keep lubricants in and grime out. On a 2009 Escape—whether running the 2.5L four-cylinder or 3.0L V6, front-wheel drive or AWD—healthy seals protect bearings, clutches and gears, stop oil misting onto belts and brakes, and help maintain correct fluid levels so everything lasts longer.

• Engine: front crankshaft seal (behind the harmonic balancer) and rear main seal (at the gearbox end), plus camshaft seals on DOHC engines.
• Transaxle/gearbox: left/right driveshaft (output) seals
