Parts for your 2009 Ford Territory-Oil seals

2009 Ford Territory oil seals: what they do and how to look after them

Oil-seals are absolutely used on the 2009 Ford Territory. Technical sources including the Ford Territory SY/SY II Workshop Manual and Ford’s Microcat parts catalogue list multiple seals on this model — notably the engine’s front crankshaft seal (Ford base number 6700), rear main seal (6A340), differential/axle shaft seals, and (on AWD) transfer case and front diff output seals. Those factory references confirm oil-seals are relevant service items on this vehicle.

On a Territory, oil-seals do the simple but crucial job of keeping lubricants in and grime out. They sit where a rotating shaft passes through a housing — think the crankshaft at the timing cover and rear main housing, transmission and diff output shafts, and (if AWD) the transfer case. Most are spring-loaded lip seals made from durable elastomers designed to ride on a smooth shaft surface and hold pressure and temperature without weeping.

There’s no fixed replacement interval in Ford schedules for oil-seals
