Your Nissan Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket are located on top of the 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 keep its parts lubricated.
How frequently should you replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? Your Engine Valve Cover is made to last, and 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, it must be replaced. A failing valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and without the proper amount of motor oil, the engine in your Nissan may no longer have proper lubrication.
It may be time to purchase a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Frontier, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan NV3500, Nissan Xterra, Nissan NV1500, and Nissan NV2500 if you notice the smell of burning oil, evidence of an oil leak, low engine oil, or new or worsened misfires in the engine. Take note of oily patches on the ground where you park, the oil indicator light on the dashboard, and the sounds and smells that come out of your engine area. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that you need a replacement Engine Valve Cover.
Changing out the Engine Valve Cover in your vehicle at home is possible, but it will likely call for tools and specialty knowledge that might be outside your DIY comfort zone. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center for professional help and Engine Valve Cover replacement. All of our OEM parts come with Nissan's 12-month/12,000-mile (whatever occurs first) limited warranty as long as they're installed by an authorized dealer or service center.
