Engine Valve Cover Compatible with 2014-2017 Nissan Altima - Reliable

In this review the valve cover is evaluated as a practical replacement for specific Nissan and Infiniti 2.5L engines; it is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops needing a direct OEM swap. The single biggest reason to consider this part is its direct OEM part number replacement, which simplifies fitment and reduces installation guesswork. Reviewers noted good overall fit and value, and the included hardware means the package is ready for a straightforward install without chasing extra parts.

Key Features

• Exact Compatibility: Fits 2014-2017 Nissan Altima and compatible Nissan/Infiniti 2.5L models, reducing the chance of ordering the wrong cover.
• OEM Part Number Replacement: Directly replaces part numbers 132643KY0A and 13264-3KY0A so it aligns with original mounting points and clearances.
• Complete Package: Ships with 10 bolts, an oil cap, a gasket, plug tube seal and PCV valve so installers have all common pieces on hand.
• Durable Construction: Built from materials intended to resist extreme engine temperatures and provide leak resistance for long-term use.
• Fitment Warning: Notes that it does not fit the 2014-2015 Rogue Select, preventing a common misfit when customers compare Rogue years and trims.

Who It's For

This valve cover is aimed at owners of 2014-2017 Nissan Altima, 2014-2016 Rogue (non-Select), 2016 Murano, 2014 Pathfinder and 2014-2017 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid who want a direct replacement without modifying mounting points. It is also useful for independent technicians and DIYers who prefer a complete kit including bolts and seals.

It is less appropriate for owners of Rogue Select models or for those seeking a factory branded part from the vehicle maker; anyone uncertain about trim or year should verify the OEM part number before purchase to avoid returns.
