- 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 creates a tight seal between your engine's valves and the outside world to contain your oil and prevent contaminants from reaching it. Your Nissan's original Engine Valve Cover Gasket may become dry or cracked with age, which can create an imperfect seal and motor oil leakage that could spill onto other components under the hood.
An old, brittle Engine Valve Cover Gasket can cause a strong smell of burning oil that you can detect from the interior of your Nissan, and the resulting motor oil leaks may lead to undue stress and wear on your engine. If you've recently noticed that you need to top off motor oil more frequently than usual, or your vehicle's indicator light is signaling low oil levels every few days or weeks, it's likely time to install a new replacement Engine Valve Cover Gasket in your Nissan.
It's best not to wait to replace a damaged or worn Engine Valve Cover Gasket once you know it's causing a problem. Variable motor oil levels can be detrimental to your engine's performance and may even irreversibly damage your engine valves if left unaddressed. Suspect 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 have a new one professionally installed.
Quick, proactive engine repair is one of the best things you can do to properly maintain your Nissan.
