A gasket is a critical part of your vehicle that should not be ignored. However, you may not even be sure what a gasket is or what it looks like. Here is an overview of what a gasket can do for your vehicle.

What Are Gaskets?
A gasket is a seal that is designed to protect your vehicle's engine and other critical components of your vehicle. The gasket will protect your engine's components from foreign liquids, dirt, dust, and other materials.

How Many Gaskets Are In My Vehicle?
There are hundreds of gaskets in your vehicle. These gaskets fall into five different categories: cooling system gaskets, engine gaskets, differential gaskets, fuel supply gaskets, and transmission gaskets.

How Long Does a Gasket Last?
There is no exact shelf life for a gasket. The wear on a gasket will depend on how hard the vehicle is driven. It is recommended that you have your vehicle checked regularly to see if your gaskets are in working order.
