Your Nissan Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket sit on top of your engine. Together, the two parts help stop motor oil from leaking out. The gasket seals the valve cover to the engine cylinder head, and motor oil can help stabilize the engine temperature and lubricate its many moving parts.

How often do you need to replace the Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that doesn't need attention very often. But, if it becomes faulty or worn from age, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A failing valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and if that leak isn't addressed quickly, your vehicle's engine may no longer have proper lubrication.

It could be time to replace the Engine Valve Cover in your Nissan Altima, Nissan Murano, Nissan Quest, and Nissan Maxima if you notice any of the following: a burning oil smell, signs of oil leakage, low engine oil, or engine misfiring. Stay attentive to oil puddles in your parking spot, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and the smells and noises coming from under the hood. New or different engine behavior could be a sign that you need a replacement Engine Valve Cover.

Installing a new Engine Valve Cover yourself is doable, but it might require knowledge and specialized tools that you might not possess. Find a nearby authorized Nissan dealer or service center for expert advice and and Engine Valve Cover installation services. All of our OEM parts come with a Nissan-backed 12-month/12,000-mile (whatever occurs first) limited warranty as long as they're installed by an authorized dealer or service center.
