- Helps prevent oil leaks
- Sealed to the cylinder head by the valve gasket
- Replace when worn or leaking
Your Nissan's engine valve gasket and Engine Valve Cover sit on top of your engine. These parts serve to help stop motor oil from leaking out. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and the motor oil inside helps keep the engine temperature in an acceptable range and lubricate its many moving parts.
How frequently should you replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover may not need replacing for many years after you purchase your vehicle. But, if it becomes faulty or worn from age, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A broken valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and without the proper amount of motor oil, your Nissan engine may sustain premature wear and tear.
It might be time for a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Murano or Nissan Quest if you notice a strong smell of burning oil, evidence of an oil leak, low oil levels or engine misfiring. Pay attention to dark splotches on the ground where you park, the oil indicator light on the dashboard, and any new smells or sounds you detect from the engine area. New or different engine behavior could be a sign that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Changing out the Engine Valve Cover in your vehicle at home is possible, but it might require knowledge and specialized tools that might be outside your DIY comfort zone. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center or dealer for expert advice and and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. Every one of our Nissan parts and accessories come with Nissan's 12-month/12,000-mile (whatever occurs first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
