Detailed Description

Use the Apex AVC856S when servicing a leaking valve cover on a Toyota Prius, Toyota Yaris, Toyota Prius C, Scion xA, Scion xB, or Toyota Echo within the listed year ranges. This engine valve cover gasket set is intended for vehicles that require a gasket service at the valve cover interface, helping restore the seal between the cover and engine assembly. The AVC856S is a practical replacement choice for maintenance and repair work where oil seepage at the valve cover is present.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Oil seepage around the valve cover perimeter
• Visible engine oil residue on the cylinder head area
• Burning oil odor from leaks near hot engine components
• Maintenance replacement during top-end engine service
• Seal deterioration on high-mileage Toyota and Scion engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the valve cover and mating surfaces for damage or warpage. Follow the vehicle service procedure for the listed Toyota and Scion applications, and verify the correct fitment by year, make, and model before installation. The part number AVC856S should be matched to the vehicle application shown in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Apex replacement parts are cataloged for specific vehicle applications to support accurate service selection. Confirm the fitment listing for your exact Toyota Prius, Toyota Yaris, Toyota Prius C, Scion xA, Scion xB, or Toyota Echo before ordering.
