Conclusion
Generally, oil seals vary in materials and types based on the corresponding application. Common materials include:

The mechanical seal is used in a pump, mixer and other mechanical engineering scenarios to contain the fluid within a vessel where a shaft rotates through a stationary (or rotating) housing.
In addition to the cost of the spark plugs themselves, it is also important to factor in the cost of labor for installation. If you are not comfortable working on your car yourself, you may need to pay a mechanic to install the spark plugs for you. The cost of labor can vary depending on the shop and location, so it is a good idea to get quotes from multiple places before making a decision.
Oil seals are used to keep chemicals apart from lubricants such as oil/fat or water away to keep spinning shafts or bearings in proper working condition. Rotary shaft Seals are among the most commonly used seals for sealing lubricating oil, water or grease in different applications.
Oil seals with outer metal cases may include finishes or treatments applied to the outer edge to aid in rust protection, identification, and sealing of scratches or imperfections in the housing bore. Common finishes applied to the outside edge of metal O.D. oil seals include plain (a bonding agent of usually a yellowish-green color), a color-painted edge, and a grinded-polished edge.
