Elring – Das Original on Instagram: "Do you still need silicone on a cork seal? 🤔 Oldschool? Yes. Outdated? Not really. Cork gaskets are still used – especially on oil pans. But many mechanics still get them wrong. ❌ Don’t use silicone ✅ Use a non-curing sealant (if needed) ✅ Soak the gasket (oil or water) to prep it properly Modern cork seals often contain added elastomer – giving them better sealing and flexibility. #Elring #CorkGasket #OilPanSeal #GasketTips #WorkshopKnowledge #MechanicLife
