A-Premium Engine Valve Cover Kit Compatible with Chevy Cruze/Sonic

In this review the A-Premium Engine Valve Cover Kit is evaluated as a direct swap replacement for L4 1.6L and 1.8L Chevrolet and related models, aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops. The single biggest reason to buy is its practical combination of a preassembled valve cover with PCV valve, gasket and bolts that addresses common oil leaks and PCV failures quickly and affordably. For owners of Cruze, Sonic, Trax, Aveo and Astra models seeking a straightforward repair that restores PCV operation, this kit is a useful, cost-saving alternative to expensive OEM parts.

Key Features

• Vehicle compatibility: Covers both L4 1.8L and L4 1.6L fitments so owners of Cruze, Sonic, Trax, Aveo, Astra and Pontiac G3 variants can confirm fit before purchase.
• Complete kit: Ships with an engine valve cover, PCV valve, valve cover gasket and a set of bolts so you get the main replacement parts needed for a standard cover service in one package.
• Direct replacement: Designed to replace GM part numbers 55558673 and 55564395, making it a like-for-like option for vehicles that list those OEM reference numbers.
• Problem solving: Intended to remedy oil leaks, engine bay smoking and burning oil smells by restoring proper seal and PCV valve operation to reduce misfires tied to crankcase ventilation issues.
• Warranty and support: Backed by a 1-year warranty and seller support for quality issues, offering some peace of mind for buyers handling installation themselves.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of Chevrolet Cruze 2010-2016 and Cruze Limited 2016, Sonic 2012-2018, Trax 2013-2020, Aveo and Aveo5 2009-2011, Saturn Astra and Pontiac G3 models who need a targeted repair for oil leaks or a failed PCV valve. It is suited to independent mechanics and experienced DIYers who want the convenience of a preassembled cover and included hardware to shorten shop time.

It is less suitable for drivers who prefer OEM-branded parts from dealerships or those seeking a lifetime solution; some buyers have mixed feedback on long-term durability. Also confirm the 1.6L or 1.8L engine fitment before ordering to avoid fitment issues.
