About Elring

Elring was founded in 1879 by Paul Lechler. Elring "the original" is their trademark, because as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to so many automobile manufacturers, there is a chance Elring provided the original gasket. Elring is widely known as an OEM replacement provider of quality parts for European model vehicles. They are mainly producers of gaskets, seals, and other high end supporting components. With locations around the globe, Elring is already established as one of the greatest producers of parts for European vehicles including luxury makes such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo and many others. Elring - "Das Original".

As an automotive supplier, ElringKlinger has become a trusted partner to its customers – with a firm commitment to shaping the future of mobility. Be it optimized combustion engines, high-performance hybrids, or environmentally-friendly battery and fuel cell technology, ElringKlinger provides innovative solutions for all types of drive systems. ElringKlinger’s lightweighting concepts help to reduce the overall weight of vehicles. As a result, vehicles powered by combustion engines consume less fuel and emit less CO2, while those equipped with alternative propulsion systems benefit from an extended range. In response to increasingly complex combustion engine technology, the Group also continues to make refinements with regard to gaskets in order to meet the highest possible standards. This is complemented by solutions centered around thermal and acoustic shielding technology. Additionally, the Group‘s portfolio includes products made of the high-performance plastic PTFE which are also marketed to industries beyond the automotive sector. These efforts are supported by a dedicated workforce of more than 10,000 employees at 45 ElringKlinger Group locations around the globe.

The Elring aftermarket brand offers an all-embracing package: original equipment quality, functional reliability, and premium, end-to-end service. This includes, for example, sales and technical training, service information, exploded-view drawings for trucks and vans, monthly newsletters focusing on engine sealing solutions, an online sealing compound wizard, professional installation videos, the Elring Academy, the training truck, and much more besides.

Original Elring products are acknowledged among dealers, mechanics, and customers around the globe. These products include cylinder-head and sealing systems, oil seals and valve stem seals, sealing compounds, and threadlockers as well as cylinder-head bolt and complete gasket sets – for full- and partial servicing.

Nice quality sealant. VAG approved
Seems to be much better quality than other brands you will find at your local parts store. I like Elring sealants over Victor Reinz products too. No problems with elring gaskets and sealants with many engine builds and repairs over the years.

Das Original
This is hands down the best RTV silicone I have ever used. It has better adhesion and oil resistance than any of the multitudes of other products I have used. Stays super flexible and keeps things sealed up nice and tight. Definitely let it cure overnight though.

Oil Pan Gasket Job
There is plenty of sealant in the tube. Worked great for my E46 oil pan gasket replacement.

Questions & Answers

Question Posted by Robert
how long till can you drive after applying to the oil pan?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
The cure rate of the product depends on the temperature and humidity level at the time of application and in combination with the cure level the part was installed at (right after application, after initial skin formed, after cured installation) there may be different answers. Without knowing any of these factors in your case, I would recommend waiting at least 24 hours based on information in their instructions: https://www.elring.ru/CELUM/10008/10019/Dirko_HT_oxim_grau_schwarz_TDB_2024_EN_US.pdf
