At Mercedes-Benz of Santa Fe, we believe that all auto owners should be well-informed about their vehicles and about the many different components that their vehicles rely on. While gaskets are relatively small auto parts, they can have a major impact on how well your car performs. Gaskets both cushion and seal the spaces between two components or systems for a seamless and airtight fit.
Why Gaskets Are Necessary
Even when two smooth and perfectly made metal parts come together, tiny surface irregularities that are imperceptible to the eye can exist. These irregularities mean that the two parts will never fit seamlessly together. As such, air can pass through at their connection. This often leads to a noticeable decrease in efficiency and the development of various problems. By placing a properly fitted gasket between the two metal parts it's possible to create a reliable and completely airtight seal.

For Santa Fe drivers, gasket maintenance is quite simple. This is actually something that can be performed as part of your routine preventative maintenance.
