Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket fits my specific Volvo Penta drive?
This gasket is listed as compatible with Volvo Penta DPH and DPR series driveshafts. Always verify that your drive requires part number 889455. Cross-reference the part number stamped on your old gasket or listed in your service manual. If in doubt, consult a professional mechanic.
What are the signs of a failing oil drain plug gasket?
The most common sign is a slow drip or visible seepage of gear oil from the drain plug area on the propeller driveshaft bearing housing. A visual inspection may reveal emulsified (milky) oil or a degraded, compressed, or cracked old gasket upon removal.
How often should this gasket be replaced?
It is best practice to replace the oil drain plug gasket every time the gear oil is changed. This ensures a fresh, reliable seal and prevents leaks. Most manufacturers recommend changing drive oil at least once per season or per 100 hours of operation.
Can I reuse my old gasket?
No. Drain plug gaskets are single-use crush washers or seals. Reusing an old gasket significantly increases the risk of an oil leak, which can lead to catastrophic gearcase failure if not addressed.
Is any sealant required with this gasket?
Generally, no additional sealant is needed. The gasket is designed to create a seal on its own when the plug is torqued to the correct specification. Adding sealant can interfere with proper seating and torquing.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, where it is batch-inspected for consistency.
