Your Nissan Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket sit on top of your engine. These parts serve to help stop motor oil from leaking out. The gasket provides a tight seal for the valve cover, and motor oil helps keep the engine temperature in an acceptable range and lubricate its many moving parts.
How often do you need to replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. Keep in mind, though, if it sustains damage or simply begins to wear out as time passes, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A damaged or old valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and once that motor oil is lost, the engine in your Nissan could be damaged.
It might be time for a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Murano, Nissan Altima, and Nissan Rogue if you observe any of these: a strong smell of burning oil, any sign of a motor oil leak, low oil levels or engine misfiring. Stay attentive to oil puddles in your typical parking place, your Nissan's dashboard oil light, and the sounds and smells that come out of your engine area. Your vehicle might be trying to tell you that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Replacing your Engine Valve Cover at home isn't impossible, but it might require knowledge and specialized tools that you might not possess. Head to a local authorized Nissan service center for expert advice and and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. All genuine Nissan parts are backed by Nissan's 12,000-mile/12-month (whichever happens first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
