  Valve Cover Gasket (13270-6CA0A) – OEM Replacement for Nissan Altima & Rogue

  Protect your engine from oil leaks and contamination with this genuine Nissan valve cover gasket. Engineered specifically for the 2.5L 4-cylinder engines found in late-model Altima and Rogue platforms, this gasket ensures a tight, factory-spec seal between the valve cover and cylinder head.

  Over time, rubber gaskets can harden and crack due to heat cycling, leading to slow oil leaks, burning oil smells, and even misfire issues from oil reaching the spark plug tubes. If you're replacing the valve cover (or just resealing it), it's essential to use a high-quality, factory gasket to restore reliability.

  OEM Fitment for the Following Nissan Models:

  • 2018–2025 Nissan Altima – 2.5L 4-Cylinder (L34US)

  • 2020–2025 Nissan Rogue – 2.5L 4-Cylinder (T33US / T33UUS)

  Note: Always verify compatibility by checking your VIN before ordering. Not interchangeable with V6 engines or other platforms.

  Specifications:

  • Part Type: Valve Cover Gasket

  • Function: Seals the mating surface between the valve cover and cylinder head

  • Material: High-temp molded rubber compound

  • Includes: One perimeter gasket (does not include spark plug tube seals or bolts)

  • Position: Upper engine – valve cover

  Failing to Replace a Worn Valve Cover Gasket Can Cause:

  • Oil Leaks: Drips onto exhaust manifolds or engine block

  • Burning Oil Smell: Caused by oil leaking onto hot engine surfaces

  • Misfires or Check Engine Light: Oil intrusion into spark plug tubes

  • Reduced Oil Level: Slow loss of engine oil over time

  Related Components You May Need:

  • Valve Cover Assembly (if plastic cover is cracked or warped)

  • Spark Plug Tube Seals (some models integrate these into the gasket)

  • Ignition Coil Boots or Spark Plugs (if exposed to oil)

  • Threadlocker or new bolts (if original hardware is corroded)

  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

  Q: Do I need to replace the valve cover too?
  A: If the plastic valve cover is cracked, warped, or leaking at integrated seals, replacement is recommended. Otherwise, replacing just the gasket is often sufficient.

  Q: Does this come with spark plug tube seals?
  A: No. This listing includes the main valve cover gasket only. Some models have separate spark plug tube seals or incorporate them into the valve cover itself.

  Q: Can I reuse the old gasket?
  A: No. Reusing rubber gaskets risks improper sealing and repeat oil leaks. Always use a fresh gasket when resealing.
