How LecWec Works in the Deutz D40.1 and Other Deutz Engines

In the Deutz D40.1 and similar Deutz engines, the engine, gearbox and hydraulic system mainly use polymer oil seals. Over the years, these seals lose elasticity due to temperature changes, pressure and aging. The result: the sealing lip no longer sits correctly against the surface, leading to oil film buildup or visible oil loss at typical points such as the crankshaft, PTO shaft or housing connections. This is exactly where LecWec works during normal operation.

After being added, LecWec distributes completely throughout the oil system and reaches all important sealing points inside the system. The active ingredient is absorbed by the seals and helps the material become flexible, supple and tightly sealing once again. This closes the tiny gaps between the seal and the metal surface. The effect is not limited to one single area, but works throughout the entire system, allowing even hard-to-reach or internal seals to be treated reliably.

In practical use on the Deutz D40.1, this means that oil leaks from the engine, gearbox or hydraulic system are greatly reduced or stopped completely without dismantling components. Especially on older Deutz machines with difficult-to-access sealing points, LecWec does not permanently replace mechanical repair work, but it restores the sealing function of the existing components and allows continued reliable operation without oil loss.

Seal Your Deutz D40.1 Again in 3 Simple Steps

On the Deutz D40.1, the problem is well known: oil film on the engine block, oil drops under the gearbox or wet spots around the hydraulic system. In most cases, the cause is aged polymer oil seals that have hardened or shrunk over the years. Instead of immediately replacing shaft seals or opening the gearbox, you can treat the problem directly during operation and restore the sealing function.

Step 1: Check the oil level in the affected system and know the exact oil capacity.
Step 2: Add LecWec at a ratio of 3 % of the oil volume directly into the engine, gearbox or hydraulic system.
Step 3: Operate the tractor normally – the additive distributes throughout the entire system and also reaches internal sealing points.

The seals absorb the active ingredients, become flexible again and fit properly against the sealing surfaces. This stops the oil leak exactly where repairs would otherwise require major effort. You avoid dismantling the engine or gearbox and quickly bring your Deutz D40.1 back into a sealed and reliable operating condition.

Oil Leaks on Deutz Tractors? These 5 Tips Can Help

Know the Typical Weak Points on Deutz Tractors
On Deutz tractors, leaks usually occur around the crankshaft, valve cover, gearbox output shaft, PTO shaft and hydraulic connections. Clean the affected areas thoroughly and let the tractor run briefly. This allows you to identify exactly where the oil is leaking instead of replacing parts unnecessarily.

Check Oil Level and System Condition Carefully
An oil level that is too high or contaminated oil can cause seals to leak more quickly. Check the engine oil, gearbox oil and hydraulic oil exactly according to specifications. Clean operating conditions help existing seals function properly again.

Treat Aged Seals Directly
Most Deutz tractors use polymer oil seals. Over time, these seals harden and lose their sealing ability. Instead of dismantling everything immediately, you can restore flexibility directly within the system and bring the seals back to working condition.

Use LecWec During Normal Operation
Add LecWec at a ratio of 3 % of the oil volume to the affected system. The active ingredients circulate throughout the oil system and reach all sealing points. Even internal areas are treated without opening the engine or gearbox.

Monitor the Results and Maintain the Seal
After application, continue operating the tractor normally and observe the known leak points. In practice, the affected areas often become dry or significantly tighter. If necessary, an additional treatment can stabilize the effect and help keep the Deutz leak-free for the long term.

Questions and Answers about LecWec

How Does LecWec Work?
Replacing a leaking oil seal is usually not an inexpensive repair. If major components need to be replaced, the repair becomes even more costly. Since 1995, however, there has been “LecWec” – a long-lasting repair solution for polymer oil seals without dismantling or replacing components, and without major time or labor costs. LecWec is suitable not only for vehicles, but for all oil systems and all types of oil. Over time, polymer oil seals lose their plasticizers, become brittle and shrink. LecWec impregnates the seals and replaces the lost plasticizers. The seals become flexible again and swell slightly – just enough to compensate for wear at the sealing lip and restore proper sealing.
3How Much LecWec Do I Need for My Deutz D 40.1?
The required amount of LecWec depends on the oil capacity of the specific system. The dosage is exactly 3 % of the total oil volume. In practical use on the Deutz D 40.1, this means: for an engine with 9 liters of oil, add 270 ml of LecWec. For the gearbox with 26 liters of oil, you need 780 ml. The additive is poured directly into the respective system and distributes itself throughout the entire oil circuit during operation. This allows LecWec to reach all sealing points, including internal areas, without dismantling your Deutz D 40.1.
How Long Does LecWec Take to Work?
LecWec does not work instantly and requires a certain amount of operating time to take effect. After adding the product, the engine should run for a while so the additive can circulate through the system and reach the affected seals. The effect then develops during further operation and also during standstill periods. In many cases, the desired sealing effect is noticeable after only a few operating hours. Depending on the condition and material of the seals, however, it may also take several days until the full effect is achieved. Once this process is complete, the sealing effect remains stable for years.
How Long Does the Effect of LecWec Last?
The effect of LecWec is designed for long-term sealing performance. Once the product has fully taken effect, the sealing result generally remains stable for years. This requires that the product has had enough time to circulate through the system and work into the seals. The engine should run after application, and LecWec continues working during further operation and also during standstill periods. Depending on the type of seal, this process may take several hours or several days. Once fully activated, LecWec keeps seals flexible and leak-free without requiring regular reapplication.
3How Reliably Does LecWec Stop Oil Leaks?
LecWec stops oil leaks with an almost 100 % success rate when the leak is caused by aged or hardened seals. The active ingredients circulate through the oil system and reach all important sealing points. During operation, the seals absorb LecWec, become flexible again and expand slightly. This allows them to sit properly against the sealing surfaces once more and close the tiny gaps through which oil was leaking. Depending on the application, the effect begins after a few hours to several days and then remains stable for the long term.
3When Does LecWec Not Work?
The effect is limited on cork and paper seals. These less common materials can absorb LecWec only to a limited extent. In practice, a slight swelling effect may occur, which can reduce small leaks, but a complete seal is generally not possible with cork or paper gaskets. LecWec also does not directly affect metal seals, since they have no elasticity. However, if the oil leak is caused by neighboring polymer seals or tiny gaps, LecWec may still contribute indirectly to sealing the system.
3Do I Need to Dismantle My Deutz Tractor for the Application?
No. LecWec is added directly to the oil and works during normal operation. You do not need to open the engine or gearbox of your Deutz tractor. This saves time and avoids unnecessary dismantling work.
5Does LecWec Also Work on Older Deutz Models?
Yes. LecWec is especially effective on older Deutz tractors with aged polymer seals. The seals absorb the active ingredients and become flexible again, helping to reduce or completely stop typical oil leaks.
6Does LecWec Also Work in Hydraulic Systems and Gearboxes?
Yes. LecWec works in all oil systems, including the hydraulic system and gearbox of your Deutz tractor. Leaks at seals or connections are treated during normal operation without removing any components from the machine.
6Can LecWec Also Be Used Preventively?
Yes, LecWec can also be used as a preventive treatment to keep seals flexible over the long term. Especially on machines with long standstill periods or many operating hours, the product helps prevent seals from drying out and becoming brittle. For preventive use, a reduced dosage of 1.5 % of the oil volume is recommended. This keeps the seals elastic and significantly reduces the risk of future oil leaks.
Can LecWec Damage the Engine or Gearbox?
No. LecWec is designed to blend completely with the existing oil without affecting lubrication performance. It does not attack metal components and does not alter tolerances within the system. Bearings, gears and other components remain completely unaffected. LecWec works exclusively on the seals within the system. When used correctly at the recommended dosage of 3 % of the oil volume, LecWec is safe to use and has no negative effect on the function of the engine, gearbox or hydraulic system.
