Are the transmission oil seals o r gaskets in Changan Kalam prone to wear and tear faster than expected in Pakistani climate conditions?

Mechanics suggest frequent seal replacement in regions with high heat. Is the seal material not suitable for local temperatures?

✅ Yes — seal and gasket wear is accelerated in hot regions.

Affected areas: Sindh, South Punjab, Balochistan hotter zones

Problem: The rubber o r polymer material used in seals may not be heat-resistant enough for ambient temps exceeding 40–45°C

Result: Hardened, brittle seals that crack o r leak prematurely

🛡️ Solution: Use aftermarket high-temp resistant seals silicone-based o r Viton if available for better longevity.
