The Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket in your INFINITI sit on top of your engine. These parts serve to help keep motor oil safely contained. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and motor oil helps keep the engine temperature in an acceptable range and keep its parts lubricated.

When should you replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? Your Engine Valve Cover is made to last, and may not need replacing for many years after you purchase your vehicle. But, if it cracks or becomes worn with age, it must be replaced. A failing valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and once that motor oil is lost, the engine in your INFINITI could be damaged.

It could be time to replace the Engine Valve Cover in your INFINITI QX56 if you notice any of the following: the 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. Pay attention to dark splotches on the ground where you park, the oil indicator light on the dashboard, and the smells and noises you detect from the engine area. 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 will likely call for tools and specialty knowledge that you might not possess. Visit your nearest authorized INFINITI service center for reliable repair help and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. Every one of our INFINITI parts and accessories are backed by INFINITI's 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty as long as they're installed by an authorized dealer or service center.
