The importance of the wheel hub oil seal cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall performance and safety of a vehicle. A faulty or damaged oil seal can result in reduced fuel efficiency, increased noise and vibration, and ultimately, bearing failure. This can lead to costly repairs and potentially even a dangerous situation on the road. Furthermore, the use of ceramic insulation in modern spark plug sets provides several benefits. Ceramic insulation is highly resistant to heat and corrosion, which extends the life of the spark plug and reduces the risk of misfires and other issues. Additionally, ceramic insulation also helps to reduce radio interference, making it safer for use in vehicles equipped with electronic devices.

ERIKS type GV (type C according to DIN) is equivalent to type M, but is a heavy-duty version with a double metal casing. This can be a useful solution with larger diameters in more demanding applications. There is also a version of this type with a dust lip; the GVST (type CS according to DIN).
