- 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 in your Nissan tightly seals off your engine valves to contain your oil and prevent contaminants from reaching it. Your vehicle's original Engine Valve Cover Gasket might become dry or cracked with age, which creates a compromised seal as well as oil leaks that can gunk up the area surrounding your engine.
A damaged Engine Valve Cover Gasket can cause a burning oil smell that permeates the cabin of your vehicle, and subsequent oil leakage might lead to undue stress and wear on your engine. If you've been topping off your vehicle's motor oil more frequently than usual, or your vehicle's indicator light is showing low oil levels more often than not, it may be time for a new Engine Valve Cover Gasket.
It's best not to wait to replace a damaged or worn Engine Valve Cover Gasket once you know it's causing a problem. Consistently low oil levels can be detrimental to your engine's performance and can even damage your engine's vital valves if not addressed immediately. Think you may have an oil leak? Take your vehicle to an authorized Nissan service center to see if your Engine Valve Cover Gasket might be the root of the issue and to get easy professional installation of a replacement gasket.
