- Creates a seal between the engine valves and the outside world
- Helps keep oil in and contaminants out
- Replace when damaged or leaking oil
The Engine Valve Cover Gasket under the hood of your Nissan tightly seals off your engine valves to contain motor oil and prevent oil pollution. Your vehicle's original Engine Valve Cover Gasket might become dry or cracked as it ages, which can create an imperfect seal and oil leaks that could gunk up the area surrounding your engine.
A worn-out Engine Valve Cover Gasket tends to cause a burning oil smell that you can detect from the interior of your Nissan, and resulting oil leaks could lead to undue stress and wear on your engine. If you've been topping off your vehicle's motor oil more frequently than you did before, or your vehicle's indicator light is constantly signifying low oil levels, it could be time to replace your Engine Valve Cover Gasket.
If possible, don't wait to replace a damaged or worn Engine Valve Cover Gasket once you know it's causing a problem. Variable motor oil levels can diminish the future performance and health of your engine and may even irreversibly damage the valves if not addressed quickly. Seeing oil splotches below your usual parking spot? Head to your nearest Nissan authorized service center to see if your Engine Valve Cover Gasket might be the root of the issue and to have a replacement one installed.
Protecting your engine is vital if you'd like to keep your Nissan in its best condition. Give your Nissan engine the best chance at longevity with Nissan-backed genuine parts, such as a new Engine Valve Cover Gasket. Trust your vehicle to those who know it best when you purchase OEM parts from Nissan online.
