Parts for your 2017 Nissan Pulsar-Oil seals

2017 Nissan Pulsar oil seals — what they do and when to sort them

Oil seals are absolutely relevant to the 2017 Nissan Pulsar. Nissan factory service literature for the B17 Pulsar/Sentra platform (Engine Mechanical and Transaxle/Driveline sections) and Jatco CVT manuals for the RE0F11A/RE0F10A units identify multiple seals, including the crankshaft front and rear main oil seals, camshaft oil seals and the transaxle/drive shaft output oil seals. These are standard components on MR-series engines used in the Pulsar range and on both manual and CVT gearboxes.

The job of an oil seal is simple but crucial: keep engine or gearbox oil in, keep dust and moisture out, and allow a rotating shaft to spin without letting fluid past. On a 2017 Pulsar that means seals at the crank pulley end (front), the flywheel/flexplate end (rear main), around the cam(s), and where the drive shafts exit the manual transmission or CVT.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to have a technician check for weeps and stains at the timing cover and crank pulley, the bellhousing join, and around the driveshafts. A light film can be monitored
