Your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover Gasket tightly seals off your engine valves to contain your oil and prevent contaminants from reaching it. The original Engine Valve Cover Gasket in your Nissan might dry out and shrink as it ages, which can create an imperfect seal and motor oil leakage that can make a mess under the hood.
An old, brittle Engine Valve Cover Gasket may create a strong smell of burning oil in the cabin of your Nissan, and the resulting motor oil leaks may put your engine under unnecessary stress. If you've been topping off your vehicle's motor oil more than before, or a dashboard light is signaling low oil levels every few days or weeks, it could be time to replace your Engine Valve Cover Gasket.
If possible, don't let a worn-out Engine Valve Cover Gasket linger. Variable motor oil levels can be detrimental to the future performance and health of your engine and can even cause premature wear to the valves if not addressed quickly. Seeing oil splotches below your usual parking spot? 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 have a new one professionally installed.
Protecting your engine is one of the best things you can do to maintain your Nissan for years to come. Give your Nissan engine the best chance at longevity with genuine Nissan parts, such as a new Engine Valve Cover Gasket. Enjoy peace of mind and a custom fit when you shop OEM parts directly from Nissan.
