New Valve Cover from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEVC00096
This video shows you how to install a new valve cover gasket in your 2012-2018 Nissan Altima (2.5L). Under the valve cover, you have camshafts and the valvetrain spinning and flinging oil everywhere. A valve cover has to have a gasket to stop some of that oil from leaking out the seam. When you do see oil around your valve cover, you know it’s time to replace the gasket.
This repair was done on a 2016 Nissan Altima Base 2.5L Sedan 4-Door FWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2012 Nissan Altima
2013 Nissan Altima
2014 Nissan Altima
2015 Nissan Altima
2016 Nissan Altima
2017 Nissan Altima
2018 Nissan Altima

Thank you for the video. I just finished mine and that was my first time doing it. Your video was spot on. The only problem I had was my motor moved quite a bit after I took the bolts out because I’m on a hill where I was working and it was very difficult getting it lined back up, but you know couple hours and determination. It’s all put back together and it runs great so thank you very much for the video.

I only have one question, did u only change the valve cover gasket? Or is there gaskets as well for where the spark plugs go?
