Detailed Description

This valve stem oil seal is used to control oil flow around the valve stem and help maintain proper combustion chamber sealing during cylinder head service. Elring 012.410 is listed across many Nissan and INFINITI engines, including long-running fitments for Nissan Altima, Sentra, Xterra, 350Z, and Pathfinder, plus INFINITI models such as G35, FX35, M37, Q70, and QX56.

What It Helps Address

• Oil entering the combustion chamber through worn valve stem seals
• Blue exhaust smoke after startup or deceleration
• Oil consumption caused by hardened or damaged stem seals
• Valve train service during cylinder head rebuilds
• Seal replacement during top-end engine repair on Nissan and INFINITI engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Install only on the correct 6 mm valve stem diameter application and verify the seal dimensions against the cylinder head specification. Clean the valve guide and stem area before installation, and inspect the valve stem for wear or scoring that could affect sealing. Because fitment varies by engine, confirm the exact engine configuration for Nissan Frontier, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, and related INFINITI models before assembly.

Quality Assurance
