Frequently asked questions

What is the O-Ring (RTC6168) used for?
The RTC6168 is an O-ring that seals the oil pump in the engine lubrication circuit, forming the static seal between the pump and its mating face to prevent oil leakage and pressure loss. It's an OEM seal for the Defender (1987-2006) 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel, naturally aspirated and turbo.
How do I make sure I order the right oil pump O-ring?
Order by the exact part number, since the 2.5 diesel oil pump typically uses more than one O-ring and sizes can differ. The RTC6168 is the OEM seal listed for the Defender (1987-2006) 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel. Check your part number against the pump before buying.
Should the RTC6168 O-ring be replaced when the pump is removed?
Yes, renew the RTC6168 O-ring whenever the oil pump is removed. O-rings harden and take a set over time, so reusing one risks an oil leak or loss of pressure. It's an inexpensive seal that's standard to replace during oil pump or engine front-cover work.
