• Creates a seal between the engine valves and the outside world
• Helps keep oil in and contaminants out
• Replace when damaged or leaking oil

Your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover Gasket forms a sealed barrier around your engine valves to contain your oil and prevent contaminants from reaching it. Your vehicle's original Engine Valve Cover Gasket may shrink or crack as it ages, which creates a compromised seal and oil leaks that can easily make a mess around the engine.

An old, brittle Engine Valve Cover Gasket can cause a burning oil smell in the cabin of your Nissan, and resulting oil leaks could cause premature engine wear and tear. If you've recently noticed that you need to top off motor oil more frequently than usual, or an oil indicator light on the dash is constantly signifying low oil levels, it could be time to replace your Engine Valve Cover Gasket.

It's best not to procrastinate on repairs when you have an old Engine Valve Cover Gasket. Variable motor oil levels may severely hamper 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? Visit an authorized Nissan service center to determine if a damaged Engine Valve Cover Gasket could be the root cause and to have a replacement one installed.
