- Creates a seal between the engine and intake manifold
- Helps prevent air from leaking out of your engine
- Replace when failing
Your Nissan engine uses a vacuum-sealed exhaust mechanism, and your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is a vital part in maintaining that tight seal. In your Nissan, the intake manifold helps to distribute airflow equally through your engine cylinders as you drive. Your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket seals the space between the manifold and the engine and prevents air from leaking out, which may diminish engine efficiency over time.
The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket in your Nissan is made to stand up to everyday driving for several years, but it may need to be replaced for an older vehicle. A leaking Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can produce sudden misfires or reduced power, which means your engine is likely overworking and weakening its long-term function if the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket fails to maintain an airtight seal. If your Nissan's engine hasn't had as much “get up and go” or your gas mileage has plummeted lately, you'll want to turn to the pros and have the engine inspected and get a clear idea of your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket's condition. To do this, head to a nearby Nissan dealer or authorized service location.
In some vehicles, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket may also seal your coolant within the engine. If you spot drips of orange or green coolant on the ground under your parking spot or notice a coolant smell (it smells slightly sweet) after your Nissan has been running, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket might be leaking. As you may have guessed, low coolant levels can lead to overheating in the engine, which may create other more serious issues in your Nissan engine over time.
Your Nissan Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is an integral engine part, and replacing it is a task best left to the pros. Therefore, you'll want to buy an OEM Engine Intake Manifold Gasket directly from Nissan, then take your Nissan to a local service site or dealer to complete the repair. All Nissan Genuine Parts are meticulously engineered for your model and year, and they come with a 12 month/12,000 mile (whatever happens sooner) limited warranty (if they are installed by a dealer at the time of your purchase).
