Your Nissan's engine valve gasket and Engine Valve Cover are found at the top of the engine. Together, the two parts help stop motor oil from leaking out. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and motor oil helps regulate the engine's temperature and lubricate its many moving parts.
When should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? Your Engine Valve Cover is made to last, and may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. But, if it becomes faulty or worn from age, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A broken valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and if that leak isn't addressed quickly, your vehicle's engine could be damaged.
It might be time for a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima, Nissan Murano, and Nissan Pathfinder if you notice a strong smell of burning oil, any sign of a motor oil leak, a low oil level (even after you top off), or new or worsened misfires in the engine. Take note of oily patches in your typical parking place, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and the smells and noises you detect from the engine area. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Changing out the Engine Valve Cover in your vehicle at home is possible, but it can require tools and expertise that might be outside your DIY comfort zone. Head to a local authorized Nissan service center for professional help and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. All of our OEM parts are backed by Nissan's 12,000-mile/12-month (whichever happens first) limited warranty (if installed by the dealer at the time of purchase).
